Indigenous Luxury Fashion Designers Turn Expectations Upside Down

From HuffPost | Article by Emma Paling | August 12, 2018


High fashion designers like Angela DeMontigny and Patricia Michaels challenge the misconception that native design isn’t “real” fashion.


Noted fashion designer Patricia Michaels planned to unveil a new collection for full-figured women at this year’s Indian Market. But her plan washed away down the Santa Fe River. Like so many other Santa Feans, Michaels — and her studio on Camino Carlos Rey, just north of Cerrillos Road — fell victim to the July 23 rainstorm that left the city a big, muddy mess. “Sometimes I’m really strong about it; sometimes I’m numb,” Michaels said as she surveyed the damage to her studio.

I was juggling work shifts and classes, and my mental health nursing assignment just kept getting pushed aside. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find the time to complete it properly. I finally reached out for Mental Health Nursing Assignment Help and it made all the difference. The support was exactly what I needed. Now I’m back on track and feeling a lot more positive about everything.

This article beautifully highlights how Indigenous designers are redefining luxury fashion by weaving tradition, heritage, and identity into contemporary design. It’s truly inspiring to see artists like Patricia Michaels challenge mainstream perceptions and bring meaningful storytelling into haute couture.

From a business perspective, their journey also reflects a unique entrepreneurial spirit. Understanding niche markets, cultural branding, and value creation is essential in modern commerce. For students studying market dynamics or fashion entrepreneurship, resources like business assignment help can be incredibly useful to explore how such creative industries thrive while staying rooted in authenticity.
