When asked about the design process process, David Lauren said the team collects information from current and former athletes and takes into account the location. “Then you put it through the Ralph Lauren lens, and you come out with something that should feel new and fresh but should be enduring. It should play into the codes of timelessness and classic. We want to create something that is historical. We know that we have a responsibility to give the athletes a sense of confidence and comfort on a global stage, and we want to tell a story about optimism and hope.”
