Presenting the final drop of the Polo Ralph Lauren Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection, the inaugural collaboration of the Ralph Lauren Lauren Artist in Residence programme, reflecting our evolved design approach with the artisans and communities that inspire us. The Polo Ralph Lauren Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection honours Navajo heritage and centuries-old weaving traditions. Naiomi Glasses is a seventh-generation Diné (Navajo) textile artist and designer, whose work reflects the beauty of her Indigenous culture. This concluding assortment captures Naiomi's love of rodeo culture, its heritage and its deep connection to the Navajo way of life. Grounded in denim and rich indigo hues, these pieces find inspiration in the signature attire of Navajo rodeo contestants and the colour of Dinétah (Navajo Nation) skies. This unisex wool cardigan is crafted in collaboration with Manos del Uruguay, a non-profit collective of rural artisan women, which promotes social and economic development. Its motif is a combination of Naiomi's weavings and features dragonflies, which reflect the Navajo tradition of using water-related symbols in art to summon more moisture to the desert landscape. It also features Spider Woman crosses – a reference to the creator and protector of the weaving tradition in Navajo culture – and traditional four-directional crosses, which carry great significance in Navajo tradition as well as in other Native communities. They reference the Earth's four directions and the stars.
Polo distils the all-American glamour and upbeat style of Ralph Lauren into more relaxed, preppy pieces for downtime, weekends and holidays, for men and women. From iconic polo shirts to effortless tailoring, shirting, printed dresses, colourful knitwear, denim and chambray and organic cotton tracksuits and loungewear, it all comes with the signature Ralph Lauren look.
