Polo Ralph Lauren was founded by Bronx-born designer Ralph Lifshitz, who has dressed everyone from Olympic medalists to famous rappers like Notorious B.I.G. While the hip hop industry is a multi-million dollar industry today, it wasn’t always that way. Lauren’s path from the streets of Brooklyn to the fashion week runway is outlined in a new documentary on Complex.com. Horse Power looks at the rise to the mainstream with interviews featuring 2 Chainz, Raekwon, Dapper Dan and more, showing the endless love affair between New York hip hop and fashion. Watch it here.
