Thank you for sharing this documentary. As an African I delight to see and know how my brothers and sisters are changing lives and living a legacy. Well Read Well Spoken Well Travelled Well Dressed Well Balance
I am a fashion designer, I am a black female designer as well. Although I did not attend an HBCU, I understand the significance and empowerment of this. As that is why I partially became a designer. Von Alexandria
This documentary was inspiring, insightful, and beautifully made. As an HBCU grad, this makes me extremely proud of my amazing fellow HBCU graduates and of my own journey. The Talented 10th discussion was mind provoking and something I will continue to carry with me. The statement “who are the 90th you are called to serve” was the perfect way to end. It’s a call to action for us all. Challenge accepted. 🙏🏾
Man! This is a great film that should have been presented for awards and placed in film festivals. I really appreciated this. Though I remember the campaign, I didn’t have a chance to fully explore it as my life took a huge turn. But getting back to it, I have to commend James Jeter and his team on the collection and film and his recent position at RL as the Creative Director for Menswear ( I believe, please correct me if I get the title wrong). Surprisingly not as many views as I would think. However the collection has sold out instantly and even the second runs. Incredible!!
This documentary is really beautiful. I learned a lot and the clothes are lovely too. 😊 (My inner librarian is freaking out at everyone holding that nearly 100-year-old yearbook tho!)
Ralph Lauren's define the word. Fashion house and classic American..that Man rivals Milan.The documentary Him and his team presented made Me curious about Morehouse/ Spelman University. Alumni suggestion... You all should have Spike Lee make a documentary on Henry Morehouse Hope/Spelman University.. I think I'd be historical
The question I have now is, will there now be a Ralph Lauren scholarship for HBCU's, or have we once again sold our people's history for the cost of integrating into a clothing brand . Let me say this, I applaud RL for shining the light on HBCU's and their history, but how are you helping them now move toward a better future. Don't only fill the need to dress black bodies without the importance of "addressing" the black minds. Make the RL in the brand mean: R esearch & L earn
Ralph Lauren supports HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) through their corporate foundation by offering scholarships to students at various HBCUs, particularly focusing on Morehouse College and Spelman College, in partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).
As much as I want to celebrate this film, I struggle. What began as a celebration of legacy, history and resilience through education, became a commodified fashion advertisement for a white billionaire's philanthropy. Naturally, I resist the politics of respectability as a debunked illusion of perception based upon the white gaze, but I enjoyed seeing the experience of the collective, disciplined and astute in regard to academic rigor and focus within these institutions. However, the more the film progressed, the more commercial the images became, the more references to Ralph Lauren were made, and the more the attention was placed upon the fashion aesthetic opposed to the educational culture and context that has made these institutions successful. Unequivocally, I loved the history but overall, the film feels like a whitewashed compromise and a tool to garner fashion sales.
@@jaybruno3571 ohhhh I see 👀. You're a troll and definitely not from an HBCU 😆. Because if you were, you would know what we call each other. Furthermore, you didn't even make a purchase. I doubt you even attended. How do I know this because RL didn't make a varsity jacket. He made the suit jacket and blazer. But I will say I do like RL restaurant. I wish they would bring back the cigar lounge and caviar bar. But im sure you know that. 😉
@@moco3624 so I have to have been from HBCU to purchase anything from this collection sis? 🤣🙄🙄🙄 They did make a varsity jacket with the Mascot on the back..it's a beautiful piece that gets tons of compliments..Ralph will always be timeless sweetie 😁
@@jaybruno3571 Bless your dear heart 🤔 when the collection was shown at the alumni meeting ( same collection that is on the website) no varsity 😂🤣. But hey I'm sure RL made a varsity especially for you 😉. But enjoy your "sold out" (which it isnt) Spelman or Morehouse apparel. Stay Blessed
@@moco3624 sold out on the first run, they made a 2nd run bc people are buying them like crazy👍..just like RL did a 2nd run on their Yankees x Polo line..silly goose

Not buying RL HBCUwear. This collection is a copy from a black owned company. The Black Ivy League. SMH we as a people will still fall for any thing
