PRL x TÓPA Cloud Paths Jumper

Introducing Polo Ralph Lauren x TÓPA, the newest collaboration of the Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence program, reflecting our evolved design approach with the artisans and communities who 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. Inspired by an heirloom from Jocy's grandmother, this roll neck jumper carries deep meaning through its overall composition, signifying symmetry and harmonious balance. Intarsia-knit with thick gauge wool and cashmere yarns, its centrepiece is a star that honours the sacred four directions and it's bordered by patterns depicting clouds, mountains, animals and stars, which reflect the deep connection between earth and sky. In this thoughtful interpretation, each motif contributes to a story of place and direction.
