In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will present a special collection of stamps curated by designer Ralph Lauren.

"American Icons" will feature 13 commemorative stamps showcasing iconic symbols of the American experience, from the Empire State Building and wild horses to a baseball glove and the U.S. flag.

This marks the first time that the U.S. Postal Service has invited an individual to curate a complete official USPS stamp collection.

For nearly 60 years, Ralph Lauren has cultivated the iconography of America into a global lifestyle brand rooted in our heritage, landscapes, cultures, and artistry - an enduring creative vision defined by optimism and authenticity.

The USPS invited him in honor of his contributions to American design and transformative influence on our collective visual identity.
