Mayor Bloomberg has proclaimed that October 24th is officially Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Prevention Day!

Ralph Lauren and his luxury empire have been inspiring Hamptons style for decades or is it that the Hamptons are inspiring his designs? When you walk the towns of East Hampton and Southampton the chic, aspirational windows of the Polo Country Store, Ralph Lauren Children and Rugby Stores lure shoppers in for the perfect vintage jean, polo shirts, floral print dresses and of course this season the cashmere and riding boots…

On Monday, October 24th all-American designer and Montauk Resident, Ralph Lauren will present an evening in Lincoln Center to benefit The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention (www.ralphlaurencenter.org) and Lincoln Center for Performing Arts (www.lincolncenter.org). Expect big stars and a very fashionable philanthropic crowd to come out to support the designer. The evening will be hosted by none other than Oprah Winfrey. Oprah will lead a personal and intimate conversation with Mr. Lauren offering a rare look into the life of an intriguing public, yet very private, cultural icon. This platform will be a home run for this pair~ who could forget the amazing video footage of Oprah visiting Ralph at his ranch during the last year of her show? This theatrical one night only stage production will be produced by Darren Bagert, a two-time Tony Award® winning producer. Following the talk will be a black tie gala of course!

Wow! Can’t wait to see the party pix from this major event….Congratulations Mr. Lauren!
