When I was in boarding school, my tiny dorm room was plastered with magazine tear sheets. Fashion models and David Yurman ads were featured prominently, but some of my very favorites were Ralph Lauren children’s ads. When it came time to move home for summer, most of the others were tossed in the trash (kicking myself now!) but I always held onto my Ralph Lauren ads. I still have them tucked away in a desk drawer and can’t help but feel nostalgic every time I pull them out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ralph Lauren has impeccable archives of all their ad campaigns online. I had a great time searching through for my old favorites. I still love them as much today as I did back then and am definitely taking style notes for my future little ones.
Ralph Lauren is such a classic, i remember I used to love his shirts when I was a teenager! They were all the rage back then in Spain!
ugh look at these little critters. so what my kids will look like one day
Omgsh! Do you remember RL Girl? I went to a casting call to be a model…. I don’t think they thought I had the look

Yes! I do remember RL Girl. It was clearly their loss!

OMG- I did the SAME thing… loved those boarding school collage and mix tape days. *sigh*
I worked for RL in their children’s design dept. in college and loved loved loved when i could spend hours in the archive room of all their ad/print work, shifting through boxes of those cutie pies in pic that had never made the cut. love…
Hey, great find! Looks like the link is broken/outdated though, and I’ve been searching through the R-L.com site for the archive. Help!
