Ralph Lauren's 2014 holiday ad campaign for its RRL line used an “assimilation aesthetic,” in which Native Americans in what looks to be authentic 19th century daguerrotypes wore RRL attire. After a backlash, the company has apologized and removed the images from its website. “Ralph Lauren has a longstanding history in celebrating the rich history, importance and beauty of our country’s Native American heritage,” the company said in a statement.
