Last year, Kanye West joined the Sway In The Morning Show for what will probably go down in history as the most memorable interview both hip-hop icon’s have ever participated in. The highlight of the insightful conversation has since then been summed up by Ye’s self explanatory phrase “It Ain’t Ralph”.
Today in a interview released by Style, famed designer and creator of RL Clothing Co., Ralph Lauren spoke on West’s using his brand as the standard to what quality high fashion is.

DS: I don’t know if you heard this, but there was a famous radio interview that Kanye West did. He was talking about this clothing line that the host of the show owned, and he said, “It ain’t Ralph, though.” The idea being, it’s not Ralph Lauren level, that Ralph is now a byword for a certain …
RL: Oh. [ laughs] So an adjective. It’s very Ralph.
DS: It ain’t Ralph level.
RL: That’s very cool. Well, that’s great. If I were to cater to Kanye, he would know that I’m catering to him. The fact that I make what I make—he gets it. He gets the quality and he respects it. And I think that’s the key, why I work all the time is to do that. That’s the fun.
