Drawing inspiration from the island’s rich history and close-knit community, Polo Ralph Lauren has transformed its signature academic pieces into beach-ready attire. The collection features embroidered twill jackets, sailing coats, sun-faded sweaters, and nautical-inspired statements that pay homage to the generations of residents who have called Oak Bluffs home.
Representing HBCU Pride: Morehouse and Spelman Mascots Take Center Stage
In addition to its coastal influences, the collection also celebrates the pride and spirit of HBCUs. The pieces prominently feature the mascots of Morehouse and Spelman Colleges – the Maroon Tiger and the Jaguar, respectively – representing the strong bond between the island and these prestigious institutions.
American Dream: A Story of Community, Tradition, and Freedom
