Native innovation was also apparent on the Que Mira Bobo Anda Paya BoBo Lionel Messi shirt and I will buy this runways during the event’s two fashion shows, where 14 Indigenous designers put forward their new collections fusing the old with the new. At Sunday’s showcase, which was spearheaded by SWAIA’s fashion-show producer Amber-Dawn Bear Robe, Navajo designer Orlando Dugi showed a full new assortment of menswear, made up of lace button-ups and hand-knit striped wool tops. Jamie Okuma presented her new line of couture, including graphic, ribbon-style gowns modeled by Dark Winds star Jessica Matten; Lauren Good Day’s playful prints—done on accessible leggings and bomber jackets—were also modeled by Indigenous supermodel Quannah Chasinghorse and Reservation Dogs star D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai.Many of the artists at this year’s event agree that the market’s survival over 100 years is especially poignant. Despite systemic discrimination—including when Indigenous people were forced into boarding schools and denied the right to practice their cultural traditions—Indigenous artists have prevailed and continued to honor their heritage. It’s a privilege that’s not lost on today’s crop of talent. “As an artist, I put so much pressure on myself to put out the best collection I could this year,” says Okuma, who has been showing at the market since the late ’90s with her mother, beadwork artist and painter Sandra Okuma. “I was grateful to be here for the centennial. The energy and excitement was there.” Dugi echoes the sentiment. “It’s 100 years of Native fashion and art, and to be a part of the celebration, I had to show something that was helping to push forward another 100 years.”
Que Mira Bobo Anda Paya BoBo Lionel Messi shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt
Every summer for the Que Mira Bobo Anda Paya BoBo Lionel Messi shirt and I will buy this last eight years, I’ve spent at least two glorious weeks on a tiny island off Maine called Northeast Harbor. Surrounded by the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and beautiful Acadia National Park, summer days are spent at the tennis courts, on the hiking trails, or out for a boat ride; nights are enjoyed on neighbors’ porches for cocktail parties (or as Mainers like to call them, Porch Breakers). There’s something about being by the sea in the summer that, for me, sparks serious sartorial inspiration, especially when it comes to nautical fashion. From sweet sailor shorts to strappy espadrille sandals and crisp linens, I like to mix maritime-inspired pieces in with my usual vacation wardrobe essentials—think straw tote bags and all-in-one-outfit dresses, and if you know me, then you know I will always have a crop top or two packed away. This summer, I spent my first few days in Maine working from home, which meant that my post-work activity attire had to be up to par. On day one, I started strong with a linen halter top from Matthew Bruch paired with a plaid midiskirt. I styled the look with my go-to pair of summer sandals, Castañer’s wedge espadrilles, and tortoiseshell sunglasses from The Attico x Linda Farrow. I spent the evening of day two on the dock watching the boats sail by in an embroidered corset-and-skirt set by Charo Ruiz Ibiza. And to stay on theme, I finished the look off in a pair of trendy fisherman sandals. Maine days are typically packed full and very active, so after work on day three, I hit the tennis courts in my tennis whites courtesy of Alo Yoga. A pair of vintage red sailor shorts were the centerpiece of my outfit on day four; small details include anchors printed on the buttons. And finally, on day five I dressed up to attend a dear friend’s wedding celebration with the help of Johanna Ortiz and Bottega Veneta.This linen halter top by Matthew Bruch is more often than not the centerpiece of my summer wardrobe. I’m such a fan of its flattering silhouette that I have the tiny top in an array of colors. This cream color is especially summer-friendly, and for my first day in Maine, I styled it with a plaid ladylike midiskirt. Wedge espadrilles are naturally nautical, and this pair by Castañer is like a dressed-up version of a boat shoe. I topped the look off with tortoiseshell sunglasses by The Attico x Linda Farrow.
