Presenting part two 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. Mirroring her personal weaving journey, the collection transitions from earthy, neutral hues to a crescendo of bright colours in this second drop, additionally influenced by her love of skateboarding. Crafted in Italy, this wool jacquard coat is based on a saddle blanket weaving created by Naiomi. The oversize silhouette is detailed with metal concho buttons and showcases a motif that combines bold contrast stripes and vibrant 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.
