Is ralph lauren gay
As fate would include it, Hanna Avian and Lauren Smith met at a wedding. “We got to chatting and realized we simply had to comprehend everything there was to know about one another,” Lauren shares.
A little more than three years later, Lauren proposed to Hanna on the night before Thanksgiving, while they were visiting Hanna’s family in Florida. Oysters are extraordinary to the couple, so Lauren handed Hanna a custom engraved oyster knife that read, “Will you marry me?” before shucking shells for a holiday recipe. Once engaged, Hanna found her moment and proposed to Lauren on Christmas Eve, while they were with Lauren’s family in Houston.
Ever since Hanna’s family purchased a abode in Colorado, Hanna and Lauren posthaste made Beaver Creek their home away from home. When they spotted Spruce Saddle Lodge on a ski trip, the pair knew the venue at the top of Centennial Gondola was perfect for their celebration.
Aesthetically, Hanna and Lauren have always been drawn to the western lifestyle. Lauren grew up in Texas, and after Florida-raised Hanna visited Kemo Sabe, she was hooked on the view. “This love for western-wear and society inspired the yearn for t

The global apparel market is valued at a whopping $3,000,000,000,000, accounting for 2% of the world's Gross Domestic Product. Taking an average prevalence of 5% of the population, the 'gay fashion market' would be around $150 billion worldwide. Interesting enough to give it distinct attention.
"Clothing of same-sex attracted men is a clearly recognized self to understand personal,
social characteristics, intentions and attitudes."
Association for Consumer Research (ACR)
But more so than for others? Are gays trendsetters, or dedicated followers of fashion? Is the fact that many designers are lgbtq+ of influence on their target audience? Is fashion homosexual - or queer woman for that matter?
The ACR called it a Dream Market. A survey was done to provide a better sympathetic of gay consumers' clothing involvementand fashion thought. Surprise: participants indicated that, in general, gay men manage to be more fashion conscious than heterosexual men. However, the study did not provide sturdy evidence of same-sex attracted consumers’ involvement in cutting-edge fashion trends.

Gay Menswear Fashion Designers
Fashion design has always had a large contingency of gay men who are prominent in the profession. This is perhaps not surprising given the extent to which the industry relies on leading-edge and extravagant design, a particular proficiency of many in the LGBTQ community.
Often notable for designing haute couture and ready-to-wear for women, there is a smaller group of gay men who also design menswear. Most of them are highly visible and operate global brands either under their own labels, or paired with household-name design firms.

EXCLUSIVE: How Ralph Lauren froze out author after he revealed the married 5'6" fashion mogul was caught romping naked with model Kim Nye and flirted with Princess Diana who refused a dance saying 'he'd only come up to my breasts'
Ralph Lauren froze out the storyteller who wrote an unflattering biography about him and left magazine editors so intimidated they did not hire him.
The fashion architect 'hated' Michael Gross's 2003 biography, Genuine Authentic: The Real Life of Ralph Lauren and did not speak to the author for 15 years - between 2000 and 2015.
Gross was rendered 'persona non grata' in Lauren's society and magazine editors shied away from commissioning him because they feared they would lose Lauren's lucrative advertisements.
But Gross has the last word now as his sizzling book is set to be republished with a new 'afterword' that explains the reason for the animus between the famed American planner and the writer of New York Times bestsellers, Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women, and 740 Park: The Story of the World's Richest Apartment Building.
Gross reveals how one editor told him to 'find something else to do' and how a job he had lined up 'vaporized' after a
