Denim Daydream, the third and final drop in our inaugural Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence collaboration, celebrates denim as the fabric of America
“Heritage and tradition are at the center 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 program, 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.”

The Collaboration
Naiomi Glasses, our first artist in residence, is a seventh-generation Diné (Navajo) textile artist and designer. 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. The third and final drop, Denim Daydream, celebrates denim as the fabric of America, and its intersection with Navajo rodeo culture, Naiomi’s weavings, and Ralph Lauren’s heritage
“In this collaboration, we really wanted to explore the history, culture, and beauty of indigo and denim.”

The Collection
Drop 3: Denim Daydream reflects Naiomi’s love for rodeo culture and heritage. For the Glasses family, rodeo is a way of life. Naiomi drew inspiration from rodeo attendees’ style and the saddle blankets she and her brother, Tyler Glasses Jr., created when they first started weaving. To accompany the drop, Naiomi curated a selection of handcrafted pieces from renowned Indigenous jewelers
“Rodeo is one of my first loves, but it’s a part of my life many people aren’t aware of. Being able to explore this different, unexpected side makes this drop unique.”

As we look to the future, we are evolving our design approach from inspiration to collaboration—focused on honoring heritage craft and those who have sustained these traditions for generations.

“Navajo weaving is a craft that has carried on through my family for seven generations, and preserving these traditions in new ways has been so inspiring to me as an artist. To now be able to share it with people around the world, as seen through my eyes and brought to life in clothing, is a dream come true. It is only through the power of collaboration and Ralph Lauren’s unique program that this collection was made possible, and the best part is that it brings traditional Navajo weaving to a new generation.”
