Greg Lauren Recycled Tent Fashion
Former actor, painter, and artist Greg Lauren is no stranger to fashion, for he is the nephew of fashion giant Ralph Lauren. Greg has recently transferred his skills into wearable art, with his range of designer jackets made with recycled materials; army tents and duffle bags, now available to buy in Barney’s. Price tags are not easy on the wallet, but his jackets are pleasing to the eye.
