PoloFest Tokyo, a three-day celebration of Polo Ralph Lauren, took place in late October, bringing together fans and figures from eight nationalities, including André 3000 of Outkast. The event featured a retrospective exhibition, roundtable discussions, a vintage market, and exclusive releases, marking the first official fan convention orchestrated by Ralph Lauren. Attendees included Yoshihito Murayama, Albie Robert, and Tom Gould, who discussed the brand's global cultural impact and deep personal significance.
An extended 10th anniversary edition of the book Bury Me With the Lo On, co-authored by Tom Gould and Thirstin Howl the 3rd, is set for release in December at $99, featuring a new chapter titled "Polo in the Penitentiary" that explores the brand's influence within the American prison system. The update reflects the broader cultural reach of Polo, which began in the 1980s with the Lo Life subculture in Brooklyn and has since evolved into an international movement.
