The Polo Ralph Lauren for Oak Bluffs collaboration draws inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of the area—a historic enclave and cultural haven for Black communities on Martha’s Vineyard long cherished by generations of creatives and professionals.

This drop honors Black excellence through intentional design and storytelling with new menswear and womenswear assortments in collaboration with Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, signaling the brand’s ongoing investment of honoring overlooked narratives that have helped shape the American identity and the American Dream.

Their 2022 collection was spearheaded by alumni of both colleges and was also the first time Ralph Lauren appointed every facet of the creative campaign process to an all-Black team of creatives and talent.

“Oak Bluffs’ unique history, traditions and sense of community deeply inspire me and speak to what we are all searching for—a place where you can be free, uncontrived, joyful and truly at home.” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Ralph Lauren Corporation.

The full collection includes heirloom sweaters, jackets and accessories that fit the ongoing coastal summer Polo Ralph Lauren aesthetic, available to shop starting July 25.
