Siblings Naiomi and Tyler Glasses, Diné weavers from a seven-generation lineage, have collaborated with Ralph Lauren on the Canyon Road Collection, a home goods line featuring traditional Navajo motifs like eye-dazzler diamonds and Spider Woman crosses. The collection, which includes bedding and dishware, marks Naiomi's second artist-in-residence partnership with the brand and aims to translate Indigenous craftsmanship into contemporary design.
This collaboration matters because it centers Native artistry within a major American fashion and design house, offering a model for authentic engagement with Indigenous creators. By weaving ancestral patterns and stories—including references to the trauma of the Long Walk—into commercial products, the Glasses siblings assert the enduring relevance of Diné culture and challenge the fashion industry to move beyond appropriation toward respectful partnership.
