Polo Ralph Lauren x Naiomi Glasses, the inaugural collaboration of the Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence programme, honours Navajo heritage and centuries-old weaving traditions
“Heritage and tradition are at the centre of everything I love—things that encompass both beauty and utility, that are uncontrived and personal, and that are passed down for generations. Bringing the most authentic expression of heritage craft to life means working with those who have created and sustained these timeless traditions for centuries and sharing their stories with the world.
That is why we have developed the Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence programme, inviting artisans to collaborate very personally with me and my design teams—allowing us, together, to form a special blend of traditional craftsmanship with our timeless design ethos.
This is how we bring a truly authentic expression of these designs to life, benefiting artisans and respectfully sharing the timeless beauty of their heritage and stories.”
Naiomi Glasses, our first artist in residence, is a seventh-generation Diné (Navajo) textile artist and designer. The Polo Ralph Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection is a celebration of Navajo artistry and culture through Naiomi’s eyes. Drop 2: Colour in Motion is a celebration of creativity, community, and cultural pride in a bright palette of traditional Diné (Navajo) motifs.
To accompany the drop, Naiomi curated a selection of handcrafted pieces from renowned Indigenous jewellers.

The Collaboration
Over the past two years, Naiomi worked with Ralph Lauren and his design teams to reimagine the original designs of her woven art into a collection of three drops. Drop 2: Colour in Motion reflects Naiomi’s love of skateboarding and her artistic evolution into colourful weavings.
“There are parallels between weaving and skateboarding. Both are very meditative. You can ride and ride, weave and weave and just get lost in them.”
Skate Inspirations
Naiomi first started skateboarding at five years old, falling in love with the freedom and healing it offered after experiencing childhood bullying from being born with a cleft palate. Skateboarding became a place of solace, where she could truly be herself—and it remains part of her life today
The Blanket
An homage to traditional Navajo wearing blankets, historically worn as outer layers preceding jackets. The dynamic patterns, including the four-directional cross, diagonal Striping, and wedge weave, reflect the evolution of Naiomi’s skills throughout her weaving journey. Each blanket comes with a matching keepsake box

Colour & Pattern
Naiomi’s weavings and designs celebrate Navajo patternwork and centuries-old weaving traditions. Traditional motifs hold deep meaning in Navajo heritage and are often recognised as a personal expression of the weaver. This collection reflects the second phase of Naiomi’s weaving journey, as she began to play with new colourways and more contemporary adaptations of traditional Navajo symbols while refining her skill in the craft.
“This drop celebrates the sportiness we all have in ourselves. I want this collection to inspire you to go out there and feel like you can do anything. I want people to look at this as a chance to see colour and not run away from it, instead, whole-heartedly embrace it.”

Our Support
Together with Naiomi, Ralph Lauren is proud to support organisations that serve Native and Indigenous communities within Navajo Nation and beyond through this collaboration. This builds on ongoing efforts by Ralph Lauren and the Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation to help preserve cultural heritage, reduce healthcare disparities and enable access to educational and career opportunities within Native communities. A percentage of the purchase price from sales of drop two of the Polo Ralph Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection will benefit the Phoenix Children’s Foundation Patient and Family Assistance Funds for Native American Families and the Center for Cleft & Craniofacial Care. These Funds aim to alleviate financial barriers like transportation, housing and treatment costs for both Indigenous patients and their families and those seeking cleft and craniofacial treatment at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Our Work to Design With Intent
Since our founding, Ralph Lauren’s design ethos has been inspired by the beautiful and interconnected history, arts, crafts and cultures that make up the fabric of America. As we look to the future, we are evolving our design approach from inspiration to collaboration—focused on honouring heritage craft and those who have sustained these traditions for generations. This means taking meaningful steps to be more inclusive throughout our business, including how we design, make and market our products.
The Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence programme is a key part of this work, inviting artisans to work with our design teams in a mutually beneficial creative partnership. Through collaborations like this, we are working to centre the voices of artisans and the communities around them, ensuring they decide how their culture and heritage are used and how their stories are shared.
