Ralph Lauren CEO Sees ‘Resilient’ Demand Amid Tariff Uncertainty

Ralph Lauren Corp. Chief Executive Officer Patrice Louvet said demand for its signature clothing such as cable-knit sweaters remains strong, even as the fashion industry is buffeted by tariffs and an economic slowdown.

“Our core consumers are actually still very resilient,” Louvet told Bloomberg TV on Thursday. Customers facing more economic uncertainty are turning to familiar brands including Ralph Lauren, he said. “When you look at the part of our lineup that is responding really nicely right now, it’s our core products.”
