I want to represent my ancestors well, and honor their sacrifices. Our traditional wear is more than fashion, it is our culture.
We would like to thank you for supporting Maggie Seawright in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
I am very much influenced by the southwest where I was lucky to grow up, and the traditional arts of my tribe (Lakota)
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To be able to blend traditional fashion elements with a modern take in a way that reflects indigenous resilience.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would be able to pursue fashion on my own terms, and reinvest in the communities that have shaped me.
