After various news agencies, blogs and other reports surfaced, the company was forced to issue a statement:Polo Ralph Lauren released a statement to the TV show Extra:
"For over 42 years we have built a brand based on quality and integrity. After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman's body. We have addressed the problem and going forward will take every precaution to ensure that the caliber of our artwork represents our brand appropriately."
