NYC born iconic designer Ralph Lauren began his career by selling ties to his high school classmates.

Today, Ralph Lauren has over 35 boutiques in United States selling clothing for women and men, shoes, accessories, and home décor.
London born Alexander McQueen started designing dresses for his sisters at a young age; ever since then he knew he wanted to become a fashion designer. At 16 McQueen was offered an apprenticeship at Anderson & Shepherd and later with Gieves & Hawkes where he mastered the technical art of clothing construction. In 1994, he completed his masters in fashion design at St. Martins. His first collection was bought in its entirety by magazine editor and international style icon, Isabella Blow. A few years later, McQueen became one of the most respected fashion designers in the world. Today this fashion powerhouse designs clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories with boutiques in New York, London, Los Angeles, Milan, and Las Vegas.
Clothing, shoes, and jewelry designed with black and white patterns continues to transcend time and is forever fashionable. I found this chic Gloria Bangle by Maren and Ruby in black/white that’s just right for every day wear. The bangle is chunky, noticeable, and is made from resin with a marble swirl design. This bracelet is 2 ½ inches wide and 2 ½ inches in diameter. Buy the Gloria Black and White Bangle through Rilee and Lo for 25 13!
Michelle Roy’s success as a designer began in the early 90’s when she affixed silk flowers to a baseball cap for her then infant goddaughter to shield her from the sun. Countless individuals began to notice the hat and asked where it could be purchased. With the overwhelming interest in the cap, Roy knew it was time to open up her business and started selling these hats. In 2000, Roy created a line of flowered hair accessories that was an instant hit with celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore, and Drew Barrymore. Today, Roy creates beautiful clothing, jewelry, and hair accessories that bring a sense of style to women throughout the world.
The chunky and brightly colored Cruz Bracelet is the ideal accessory for a fun summer day. This stretch bracelet is bejeweled with charming gems of turquoise, jade, and black coral. These stones come in various sizes, shapes, and patterns that give it extraordinary appeal. I adore this bracelet for its use of clustered gems in a chic design. Buy the Michelle Roy Cruz Braceletthrough Max and Chloe for $85.
