PRL x Naiomi Glasses Wool Coat

Presenting the third and final drop of the Polo Ralph Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection, the inaugural collaboration of the Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence program, reflecting our evolved design approach with the artisans and communities that inspire us. The Polo Ralph Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection honors 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 for 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 color of Dinétah (Navajo Nation) skies. Designed for an oversize silhouette, this coat is finely crafted with Italian wool and detailed with silver-tone metal concho buttons. The jacquard fabric is yarn-dyed to create its graphic motif that includes Saltillo diamonds, a wedge-weave pattern, 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.
