Has Ralph Lauren ended the Black Label line?

[Capitano]

Going through the Ralph Lauren website as I often do I have noticed that the Black Label section is no longer available, and this has been the case over the past few weeks. No new Black Label products are available on the website, only few items are displayed within the PL section and are on sale which implies that these are all old collection items. I couldn't find any valid sources confirming this piece of information on the internet so I thought perhaps someone here could be more informative.

There's this thread, but if you don't find it a valid source, there's always the Times:

"Not long ago, Mr. Lauren eliminated his popular midprice Black Label line, bisecting his men’s wear business into Polo Ralph Lauren and a Purple Label offering, pitched toward the growing market for luxury goods."
