Deere Woman Design

Another MCN Festival Fashion Show down! Take a break from the doom scrolling and head to my page to check out each model’s individual post to get to know these incredible women and why they were chosen to represent my creations. I received so many amazing applications, but my heart was drawn to these strong Indigenous women. I chose each of them because of the way they represent not only themselves and their communities, but Indigenous people as a whole. Some are helping keep our languages alive. Some are powerful advocates for our people. All of them are connected to the Mvskoke and Seminole Nations. They each embody the strength, resilience, beauty, and culture that I wanted reflected alongside my designs. My hope was that when you see my creations, you also see the incredible Indigenous women wearing them and are reminded that our people have always been strong, resilient, and are still here.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to walk for the amazing Sheena Logan in the MCN Art Market fashion show. I was deeply honored to be asked to walk first and represent the older, traditional style of the beautiful and strong Seminole women. As a proud descendant of the Mvskoke and Semvnole people, moments like this carry so much meaning for me. Whenever I wear my regalia, I feel a deep sense of peace within myself, and this experience was no different. To be able to showcase my cousin’s creations while also sharing even a small glimpse of the strength, beauty, and tradition of Seminole women was incredibly special. It was more than just walking a runway, it was a moment of pride and cultural connection.
