The films present an approachable image of 1920s style and dandy attitudes that can be embraced today, and to suggest that they are inspiring would be an understatement.

Ralph Lauren for The Great Gatsby
Ralph Lauren’s involvement in the 1974 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby was a defining moment for his career. His task was to craft some of the movie’s costumes, and he delivered stylish shirts, ties, and even two suits custom-made for Robert Redford. He blended Theoni V. Aldredge’s fabric specifications into his designs for a stunning final product.
Unfortunately, what began as a positive collaboration between Lauren and Aldredge soon turned sour when Lauren claimed sole credit for the costume design in interviews, which left Aldredge infuriated. Despite this setback, Ralph Lauren’s contribution to The Great Gatsby is still remembered fondly by many today.
