My friend Annalise Lundeen is a studying fashion design and these are two inspiration boards she used for a design development project. I love them because they remind me of Oklahoma. She is from Colorado and we both have this underlying need to have native experiences. I’m part Cherokee and Kiowa, and growing up in the southwest, Native American heritage was always around. Annalise is not part Native American, but has always admired Pocahontas’ ability to convene with nature. This project became an expression of that admiration. The earthtones and turquoise capture the southwestern Native American aesthetic quite precisely. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
