Exhibit highlights Indigenous artistry in high fashion
The National Museum of the American Indian is showcasing “Making a Statement,” an exhibit featuring custom Gucci gowns worn by Oscar-nominated actor Lily Gladstone. The gowns incorporate porcupine quillwork, an Indigenous art form dating back over 1,400 years, created by Ironhorse Quillwork. Organizers say the exhibit demonstrates that Native fashion has a place on red carpets and runways today. The exhibit runs through March 26.
