Ralph Lauren Collaborates with USPS to Curate Stamps for U.S. 250th Anniversary
Ralph Lauren has been selected by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to curate a special set of commemorative stamps in honor of America's 250th anniversary. This marks the first time an individual has been asked to curate a stamp collection for the USPS. Lauren chose 13 images from his personal archives that he believes embody the essence of the nation. These images have been transformed into stamps, which will be available for purchase starting next month. The collection includes 12 stamps titled 'American Icons' featuring images such as a baseball glove used by Jackie Robinson, the Empire State Building, and a Navajo blanket. A 13th stamp showcases a knit flag designed by Lauren, reading '1776 to 2026'. The stamps will be issued as Forever stamps and sold in various formats, including a commemorative pane and a postcard pack. A dedication ceremony is scheduled for June 9 at the James A. Farley Post Office Building, with the public invited to attend.
