Ralph Lauren has unveiled Polo Ralph Lauren x TÓPA as part of its Fall/Holiday 2025 lineup, its fourth collaboration under the Artist in Residence program. The capsule brings together Ralph Lauren’s timeless Americana aesthetic with the bold cultural language of TÓPA, an Indigenous-led brand known for infusing tradition into contemporary fashion.
TÓPA was founded by husband-and-wife duo Trae and Jocy Little Sky, award-winning performers, designers, and proud members of the Oceti Sakowin. Jocy is Dakota and from the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations, while Trae is Oglala Lakota and Stoney Nakoda. Together, they carry forward a family legacy rooted in traditional arts. Known for their meticulous hand-crafting of Pow Wow regalia, they use ancestral techniques like quilling, beadwork, and leatherwork to create pieces that feel both deeply personal and culturally resonant.
“We’ve long admired Ralph Lauren and how the brand brings worlds to life through its designs and storytelling,” said Jocy Little Sky, co-founder of TÓPA. “This collaboration with Polo Ralph Lauren honors our community, culture, and way of life, and we hope it inspires people to be proud of who they are, where they come from, and to follow their dreams.”
In this collaboration, their heritage becomes wearable storytelling, bridging past and present through craftsmanship, color, and meaning. The rugged landscapes of the American West become the backdrop for the brand’s holiday campaign, and amid this scenery is a celebration of family, togetherness, and community that is also reflected in the timeless pieces created in collaboration with TÓPA.
The new collection showcases pieces that blend contemporary silhouettes with Native design motifs across men’s, women’s, and accessories offerings. True to its name, “TÓPA,” which means “four” in the languages of the Oceti Sakowin, the collection draws inspiration from the number’s cultural significance that represents the four directions, four seasons, four stages of life, and the four meaningful colors of red, black, yellow, and white.
More than just clothes, this partnership is woven with depth and intention — a story that was told through a short film that shared Jocy and Trae’s artistry, family life, and cultural celebrations that inspired the designs of Polo Ralph Lauren x TÓPA. It was filmed on the ancestral lands of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations that are located on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota.
A portion of the proceeds for each item in the Polo Ralph Lauren x TÓPA collection will also be donated to Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation (CDC) in support of its Lakota Language and Education Initiative. The Little Skys honor their heritage by learning their ancestral language, and through this collaboration, Ralph Lauren is able to support the preservation of Lakota culture and traditions.
Ralph Lauren’s Artist in Residence program is an ongoing initiative that brings heritage artisans into close creative partnership with the brand’s design teams. The program forms a key pillar of Ralph Lauren’s broader Design with Intent efforts, an initiative aimed at expanding the brand’s portrayal of America and moving beyond inspiration toward genuine collaboration with the communities whose cultures have inspired its designs.
The Polo Ralph Lauren x TÓPA collection is available at RalphLauren.com and at select Ralph Lauren stores around the world. It will also be sold on the official TÓPA website. You can view the collection here.
