Introducing Polo Ralph Lauren Lauren x TÓPA, the newest collaboration of the Ralph Lauren Lauren Artist in Residence programme, reflecting our evolved design approach with the artisans and communities that inspire us. This collection features the artistry of wife-and-husband duo Jocy and Trae Little Sky—founders of the clothing brand TÓPA and proud members of the Oceti Sakowin (People of Seven Council Fires); Jocy is of Dakota and Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations (MHA/Dakota), and Trae is Oglala Lakota and Stoney Nakoda. Their creations merge modern silhouettes with distinctive Indigenous cultural elements to honour and preserve ancestral traditions while reflecting the beauty and vibrancy of their Northern Plains heritage. The name TÓPA, meaning “four” in the languages of the Oceti Sakowin, symbolises the four directions, four seasons, four stages of life and four meaningful colours. Intarsia-knit with hand-spun wool yarns, this unisex cardigan derives its name from the significance of the colour red. Representing the north, red winds bring an opportunity for strength and renewal. It features a distinctive four-stripe motif that symbolises four winds, speed and protection, as well as a mirrored design that reflects our place in the universe.
