Fashion brand Ralph Lauren just released a new collection in honor of the Martha’s Vineyard seaside town of Oak Bluffs in collaboration with the HBCUs Spelman and Morehouse. Oak Bluffs has a deep history that needs to be celebrated so I am so thrilled to see this.
Per Ralph Lauren:
“Seaside Haven. A small but remarkable town, Oak Bluffs has stood as a testament to the enduring spirit of community. Since the late 19th century, this enchanting coastal escape has been a place where Black professionals, artists, intellectuals, and HBCU students and alumni can come to embrace a life of leisure.”

The collection is gorgeous. Take a look at it and read more about it by clicking here. Love seeing the merging of the design elements of the schools and Ralph Lauren!
As part of the initiative, Ralph Lauren partnered with these HBCUs and a number of other organizations to bring the history of Oak Bluffs to the forefront …
A special screening of the film will take place on August 8th in Oak Bluffs in partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, during the African American Film Festival.
It’s amazing to see this legacy not only be honored and celebrated, and brought to life, but also to live on into the next generation and its culture.
Big shout out to Ralph Lauren, keeping our American history alive and well. What’s your experience? JIM
