A look at the latest offerings from Indigenous designers shaping the future of fashion.

Red Berry Woman Grammy Shoot Outfit: Upcycled gown, hand-crafted and painted parfleche top with matching cuffs. Designer: Red Berry Woman Model: Quannah Chasing Horse MUA: Martha Phelan, Hidatsa/Arikara Hair: Shylah Demaray, Arikara Photographer: Joe Pekara

 

Red Berry Woman is a fashion line created by Hidatsa designer Norma Baker-Flying Horse, which transforms Native American traditional garment styles into contemporary ready-to-wear couture for women and men. Baker-Flying Horse is an enrolled member of the Hidatsa tribe and a member of the Dakota Sioux and Assiniboine tribes, as well as an adopted member of the Crow Nation. 

“[In the past few years] my time has been filled with some major events,” says Baker-Flying Horse. She won Phoenix Fashion Week Designer of the Year for 2022-2023 and was the first Indigenous designer to receive a Cultural Recognition in Visual Arts Grammy award. In addition, she’s also dressed several prominent figures for major events including Canadian actress Tantoo Cardinal for the premiere of the new Martin Scorcese film Killers of the Flower Moon; Quannah ChasingHorse for the cover of Native Max Magazine; Quannah Chasing Horse for the film premiere of Walking Two Worlds at the Tribeca Film Festival; and Janee’ Kassanavoid (the first Native American woman to receive a medal at the World Track and Field Championships) for the White House’s first Native American Heritage Month celebration. And that’s just scratching the surface. 

Baker-Flying Horse also released her new UNITY Dragonfly Collection and gave birth to a daughter in November of 2022.
