Anchoring the Polo Ralph Lauren Exclusively for Morehouse and Spelman Colleges Collection, our first-of-its-kind film explores the use of style as an expression of aspiration, a form of self-empowerment, and a tool of resistance. Through rare archival footage and narration from students, faculty, and alumni of Morehouse and Spelman, our film offers a thesis about the inception of historically Black colleges and universities and the philosophies of living that they entrench within their students and American culture.
In a campaign transversing film, ink, and thread, Ralph Lauren revisits a legacy of American collegiate style, honoring the essential role HBCUs have in the American dream.
Join us for the world premiere of the film on March 28 at 7:30pm ET.

When you attend an HBCU, you join a legacy of Black excellence. A legacy that you can pass down to your children and your children’s children. HBCUs are so much more than places you go to get your degree. There’s that, of course, but there is so much more. The culture, experiences, academics, shared struggle, survival, hope, aspiration, brilliance, entrepreneurship, innovation, sophistication. I’m so glad to be FAMU! ✊🏿

Finally, and thank you. When I moved from Argentina to US, the first place I lived was Atlanta. My best friend from Peru was working at City Hall in the urban planning department. Thru her, I learned the incredible leadership of Maynard Holbrook Jackson Jr. who was a graduate from Morehouse College. His vision (like your vision of the American Dream) changed Atlanta forever, and for the best! I also had the opportunity to work in an African American architectural firm that had several graduates from Morehouse College and Spelman College, so I know first hand how bright and accomplished they were and they are. It is time that designers take notes, for one thing, at least in the firm I worked, they were elegant, fashionable and very creative with their outfits- always.

Yes. Black people have been historically (not so much now🙄) taught by family members to dress nice. Others can dress down and be called "casual " whereas our elders would have been called "sloppy."

I used to work for Ralph Lauren at Polo Ralph Lauren in grapevine Texas. I'm from South fort Worth. It took over an hour to get there. I would sing a song from Willy Wonka when I would be out on the floor helping the customers. Come with me and you'll see in to a world up your imagination. I was very honored to be a part of everything that makes up Ralph Lauren. It's people like me it's people who come to know when people who have always known about or going to know about I'm not just trying to sell you a suit. I'm trying to sell you the only suit you will ever wear. And it's fabulous it's wonderful. I no longer work for Ralph Lauren and I'm extremely unhappy. I worked at the store 464 under Jonathan and Kylie. Jonathan and Kylie do not understand people. What's the point in interviewing someone when you don't understand them. Various many people like Ralph Lauren just said. He is happy to be a part of it and in the aspects of what he is happy to be a part of come from many different variables. Some of the people in this video can be autistic. Some can be gay. Some can even be atheist. The point is that we are all different living our lives in a way that makes us happy. What's the point in going to school and taking classes and doing all that study work if that's not what you want in life. Judge Judy said. If you find something that makes you happy and you're able to make money out of it you're not working. You are having a play day. I am a very flamboyant boy I grew up wearing dresses. I do not like men I do not understand man. It takes a very special man for me to be able to style. When it comes to the women the ladies. The sky is the limit when it comes to style. When you're constantly being put to do something that you don't like and Jonathan and Kylie don't care to hear it then you're not having a play day you're not having fun you're not living in the world of imagination of Ralph Lauren that is shared by many and for all. I wish that policy would change so I could have my employment back

The goal of this partnership/ campaign is what? How many employees does RL have that are graduates of HCBUs? What else Is RL contributing to these universities? Will there be scholarships? Internships? What about support of African American designers? This just feels wrong to me.... too little too late to me.... I’m sorry.

@ericawright7540 2 жыл бұрын

Within RL, the lead and orginator for this idea is a Morehouse alumnus who also worked with a Spelman alumna and other members of the RL team to bring forth this collection. The company has also announced a donation to both school’s endowment fund.

@stephaniesurratt1473 2 жыл бұрын

Okay... and don’t these HBCUs already have a large deeply funded endowments? And aren’t there other HBCUs that embrace the “American Dream” i.e Howard University? It would have been nice to see a capsule collection for all of the HBCUs with a different spotlight on the history and celebration of Black Culture. But let’s be honest.... Polo has been apart of Urban culture for decades.... whether it was African Americans wearing it to work, wearing it on the street... yes even the dope boys in my neighborhood wore Polo... matter of fact Polo was trending as far back as high school for me... so people been wearing Polo... in a lot of places other than than these to universities.... it just feels so forced and transparent. And for the the love of God can we stop this romanticism with this petty coat, gentry, good day madam, we shall overcome era??? It is 2022 when are we going to start sharing our current and future stories?

@cbjofficial3006 2 жыл бұрын

I read that only 2 million would be donated between 12 HBCU’s … Now considering how much they are going to generate off of this campaign ( 3 or 4 times more) I think that’s a slap in the face to those colleges!
