“Music and fashion to me have always been interlinked. Ralph Lauren has always been one of my favorite designers, right by my side for some of my favorite moments in my career and personal life. This intimate virtual concert ties together all the greatest events of my life and allows me to sing about them the way I always wanted to.” –Chance the Rapper
The GRAMMY award-winning artist and iconic American brand have collaborated many times over the years, including in 2016 when Chance wore an RRL shirt for the cover of his critically-acclaimed mixtape, Coloring Book, and in September 2018 when he attended Ralph Lauren’s 50th Anniversary Fashion Show.
