The world of Native high fashion is extremely diverse, and designers are increasingly putting examples of their work on the web.

Several Native designers have their own websites, where you can find images of their clothing collections, brief bios, articles about their work, event listings, and contact information.


Here's a sampling of what's out there:

Pilar Agoyo (Ohkay Owingeh/Cochiti/Santo Domingo) - pilaragoyo.com

Pam Baker (Squamish/Coast Salish) - toclegends.com

Angela DeMontigny (Chippewa/Cree/Metis) - angelademontigny.com
