PRL x TÓPA Center Camp Sweater

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 that 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 honor 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, symbolizes the four directions, four seasons, four stages of life, and four meaningful colors. Made with wool-and-cashmere yarns, this unisex sweater is knit utilizing intarsia and ladder-back techniques that showcase geometric artwork. Its mirrored pattern nods to the seven directions—the four cardinal directions, the above, the below, and the within. This is where the name “Center Camp” comes from—it represents the self and all that surrounds us. Geometric motifs at the borders symbolize the mountainous landscape of the Dakotas, while small bursts of red signify strength, renewal, and the energy that flows through all things.
