With its ruffled hem, fluttering sleeves and modest ankle length, it has become a firm favorite . Still, the dress is causing quite a stir these days, but is that justified?

You’ve read the headline before: The Roaring Twenties Are Back! The topic of the 1920s versus the 2020s has felt fairly ubiquitous since the world began creeping out of lockdown, with comparisons made by analysts, historians, and writers alike.

The corset is back in a big way. You can thank shows like Bridgerton for bringing the body-shaping undergarment back into the forefront of fashion, with stars like Hailey Beiber and Elle Fanning sporting the item in their everyday wear and on the red carpet.

The launching of the "Polo Ralph Lauren Exclusively for Morehouse and Spelman Colleges Collection" has received much attention from the media, which celebrated this unique collaboration between the brand and the two historically Black institutions. The collection derives its inspiration from Spelman and Morehouse’s own historical record, as archival imagery from the 1920s to 1950s inform the styles which are modeled by students, faculty, and alumni.
