This year’s theme, “Elevated Elegance: The Return of Grace and Glam,” is all about celebrating Indigenous creativity and cultural expression in the fashion world.
Headlining the show is the Sky-Eagle Collection, led by Osage designer Dante Biss-Grayson. Known for merging modern couture with Indigenous storytelling, Sky-Eagle has gained recognition as a Native and veteran-owned fashion house that is reshaping the industry.
“Fashion is our canvas to tell stories of resilience, culture, and identity,” said Biss-
Grayson. “This event celebrates the brilliance of Indigenous creativity and reminds the world of the strength and beauty of our communities.”
This year’s event, produced by Cora Kay Productions, brings together a lineup of standout Native designers who are pushing boundaries and reclaiming space in the global fashion conversation.

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
