RALPH LAUREN'S HONORABLE MENTION?

RALPH LAURENWhile this mention is honorable, it is anything but last place! Fashion designer Ralph Lauren will receive the ultra -prestigious Legion of Honor (Legion d'honneur) from France later this month. 
LEGION OF HONOR That's right, the designer who put the luxe in American Sportswear and taught WASPs how to dress is receiving an award, not from a French organization or fashion group, but from THE COUNTRY. French president Nicolas Sarkozy will present the designer with the award the same week the Ralph Lauren flagship is unveiled on Boulevard Saint Germain on the left bank of Paris. 
RALPH LAUREN S/S 2010 - PHOTO MARCIO MADEIRA With six floors of retail, the store which will carry most things RL, will be the largest Ralph Lauren store in the world -no small feat! A stones throw from stylishly iconic fashion landmarks as Cafe de Flore and Brasserie Lipp, the store will have a restaurant of it's own, called what else - Ralph's. My sources tell me the cafe will be a 2.0 version of the ever popular RL in Chicago. 
POLO RALPH LAURENYou know you have made it when you are an American designer receiving the Legion 
of Honor from the motherland of Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent. Congratulations Mr. Lauren, you've earned it!
