This marks the first time an American designer has ever received the prestigious honor from Queen Elizabeth II:
who will forever be regarded as one of the industry’s greats. After all, he single-handedly made the polo shirt the ubiquitous staple it is today and helped define what’s become known as the prototypical American aesthetic: Think nautical navy blazers, crisp white button-ups, tailored light-wash jeans, and brown leather accessories.

Other notable American recipients of an honorary UK knighthood or damehood include former Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush; former New York City Mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudolph Giuliani; Angelina Jolie; Steven Spielberg; Bill and Melinda Gates; and Angela Ahrendts.
