Polo Ralph Lauren ‘Oak Bluffs’
Spring 2025 Ad Campaign
Aug 2025
The Polo Ralph Lauren Spring 2025 campaign for the Oak Bluffs collection masterfully channels the enduring spirit of New England coastal heritage, leaning into a refined collegiate aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and distinctly contemporary. Under the creative direction of James Jeter and Ralph Lauren, the project transcends mere advertising, functioning as a visual love letter to a classic, upscale lifestyle. Photographer Nadine Ijewere captures the essence of the collection with a soft, cinematic gaze, utilizing natural light to highlight the intricate textures of cable-knit sweaters, structured tweed blazers, and heritage-inspired tailoring. The imagery, which spans from domestic porch scenes to sun-drenched coastal rocks, thrives on editorial minimalism and a cohesive color palette of navy, cream, and mahogany. Featuring models like Aaliyah Hydes, Aya Jones, Jecardi Sykes, and Samuel Elie, the campaign feels like an intimate, lived-in portrait of a community, balanced by the elevated grooming work of hair stylist Mideyah Parker and makeup artist Aurore Gibrien. Through the expert use of live-action technique and varied lifestyle compositions, the project perfectly captures the intersection of academic tradition and seasonal leisure. By blending archival-inspired details with the ease of modern sportswear, the campaign cements Polo Ralph Lauren’s position as the definitive voice in American luxury fashion, proving that the most compelling brand narratives are built on a foundation of timeless style and atmospheric storytelling.
