Rickey Lauren, Ralph Lauren, Oprah Winfrey
On Monday October 24, Oprah Winfrey sat down for a retrospective interview with fashion designer Ralph Lauren. As someone who considers both these iconic figures mentors and inspirations in my head, this was big for both the fashion and philanthropy world. To have these two iconic figures in American culture history sit down for "An Evening with Ralph Lauren" brought out the heavy hitters in the fashion,media and philanthropic world. Audience members included: Wendy Deng Murdoch, Michael J Fox and Tracy Pollan, NBC's Brian Williams, Kerry Washington, Jonathan Groff,Bravo's Andy Cohen, Camilla Belle, Desiree Rogers, Glenda Bailey, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff to name a few.
The event raised in the ballpark of $7 million for both the Lincoln Center and the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention.
