ATLANTA — Polo Ralph Lauren announced Tuesday that it is furthering its partnerships with two Atlanta HBCUs, Morehouse College and Spelman College.

The Polo Ralph Lauren Exclusively for Morehouse and Spelman Colleges Collection focuses on the style of students at the well-known colleges from the 1920s to the 1950s.

“This collection expresses the spirited history, deep sense of community and legacy of timeless dressing at historically Black colleges and universities,” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Ralph Lauren Corporation. “It’s so much more than a portrayal of a collegiate design sensibility. It’s about sharing a more complete and authentic portrait of American style and of the American dream — ensuring stories of Black life and experiences are embedded in the inspiration and aspiration of our brand.”

The Collection was designed by alumni from both colleges who work at Ralph Lauren.

Very nice historical homage by Ralph Lauren's company. Ralph finds a way to revisit his WASP preppie/Ivy League inspired fashion by tapping into the black community's version.

Will not be received well. No big models or designed clothes.

All men look better in a suit. Frequently a suit makes us better men.

Look much better than current College students.

That said, can’t anyone take a fashion related photo with people smiling?

So white people won’t be allowed to buy/wear these clothes? How progressive.
