She used to be a figure skater and a fashion editor. At age 40, she got married and designed her own wedding dress. After that, she decided that she wanted to launch her first collection.

Ralph Lauren

He started out selling ties, and convinced the company he was working for at the time to let him come up with his own line. Initially, he tried selling his line to Bloomingdales, who said that the only way they would buy was if he made his ties thicker and removed his logo. This was a huge company to sell to, but under these circumstances, he declined. A few weeks later, they called him back and said they couldn’t find any ties that were like his, and would buy them as is.

IMAGINE: If he had agreed to the first offer. Would his brand be what it is today?
