While most boys grow up wearing polo shirts, others grow up to be fashion icons. Argentine polo player Nacho Figueras was born in 1977 to a middle-class family in Buenos Aires. He started riding horses and learned to play polo at a very young age. In 2000, he met Ralph Lauren who would eventually make Nacho the face of his Black Label clothing and fragrance line.
Figueras, whose Black Watch team is sponsored by RL, keeps it all in perspective, “It has been an honor to work with him, and he has given me the opportunity of giving the world more of an idea of what my sport is all about, which is one of my missions in life.” Luxist recently interviewed Figueras and asked him to list his Top 10 Luxuries.
As for his current lifestyle, Luxist paints a rather elite profile: “When he isn’t playing polo in the world’s most prestigious tournaments and promoting its heritage as an ambassador, he is sailing with his young family off the coast of Punta del Este, Uruguay and breeding horses on his ranch outside of Buenos Aires.”
