Now that’s sustainable fashion. 🌽
At NativeFashionWeekSantaFe, founder Amber-Dawn Bear Robe (amberdawngold) opened day two in a stunning gown made entirely of corn husk — a powerful statement of sustainability and tradition that set the tone in the most beautiful way. ✨
Designed by Santa Fe–based Diné artist Carrie Wood (chizhii), the piece, titled Asdzáán Naadą́ą́’, honors the knowledge keepers in her life and those who keep our cultures alive.
The husks were planted, grown, and harvested by Wood and her husband using seeds and traditions passed down generations from her Cheii (grandfather), who passed away in 2011. 💛
Grounded in ancestral knowledge, Asdzáán Naadą́ą́’ is truly a breathtaking example of how Indigenous design can reclaim culture and reframe narratives within fashion.
