August 2025 @ Santa Fe Indian Market, New Mexico

Patricia Michaels is an award-winning indigenous fashion designer from Taos, New Mexico. She was the first ever Native American fashion designer on the show “Project Runway,” and ended up finishing her season as 1st runner up. She returned to the show in “Project Runway All Stars” Season 4.

In 2013 she became the first Native American designer to have a collection show at Lincoln Center during the Mercedes-Benz show of New York Fashion Week.

I was honored to get another chance to work with Patricia having walked the runway for her twice before.
