indigenous Stories in Jewelry & textiles
An evening at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian
Join the Women's Jewelry Association New York Metro Chapter for an evening of fresh perspectives on fashion, representation and storytelling through jewelry and textiles.
We are excited to host a panel of award-winning Indigenous jewelry and textile designers Naiomi Glasses, Tyler Glasses and Omar Monroy (She/They) of El Techichi Jewelry.
Three incredible artists who have created for fashion brands and movie stars including Ralph Lauren, Gabriela Hearst, and Lily Gladstone.
Moderator, Tchesmeni Leonard, Senior Fashion Editor at Allure | Glamour | Teen Vogue | SELF will guide us on a journey through conversation where will explore the deep-rooted history, heritage, and traditions that shape our panelists work, highlighting how Indigenous jewelry and textiles serves as both a means of preservation and a platform for artistic evolution.
Not only will we hear their stories, but we will also have the opportunity to see and try on some of their jewelry and textiles!
