Presenting 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. Through the first drop in this collection, Naiomi draws inspiration from her family, homelands and community on Dinétah (Navajo Nation). Based on one of the weavings she created, this waistcoat is rendered in cotton-blend jacquard cloth and features Spider Woman crosses – a reference to the creator and protector of the weaving tradition in Navajo culture – and four-directional crosses. The four-directional cross and the number four carry great significance in Navajo tradition, as well as in other Native communities. They reference the Earth's four directions and the stars.
