The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts will host SWAIA Native Fashion Week in Santa Fe for the third year in a row. Smaller in scale than previous iterations, organizers said they wanted to focus on quality over quantity.

鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely a smaller footprint, but we鈥檙e very thoughtful with making sure that we鈥檙e able to 鈥� be inclusive of the community members who have been so supportive,鈥� Jamie Schulze (Northern Cheyenne, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), SWAIA鈥檚 executive director, said.

Santa Fe-based designer Peshawn Bread (Comanche, Kiowa, Cherokee) is returning as the producer of this year鈥檚 event, which is being held at the Eldorado Hotel and Spa.

鈥淣ative Fashion Week this year is different from any other there has been,鈥� Bread said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a lot more intimate, and it鈥檚 also a culinary experience.鈥�

The evening gala on Saturday, May 9, 鈥淎 Taste of Native Fashion,鈥� will feature runway shows by five leading Indigenous designers, as well as a special three-course dinner prepared by chef Ray Naranjo (Santa Clara Pueblo, Three Fires tribes of the Great Lakes), the acclaimed executive chef of Pueblo Harvest at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.

They wanted to have people share a really deliberate meal, Schulze said, 鈥渁nd for guests to be able to actually meet with the designers at a table, share that meal and also have the experience of very 鈥� intentional food.鈥�

Schulze and Bread both compared Naranjo鈥檚 high-quality, sustainable Indigenous cuisine to the high-quality, sustainable Indigenous fashions they are showcasing at the event.

鈥淪low fashion tends to have more intention and thought,鈥� Bread said. 鈥淎nd what I like about this event is that it鈥檚 returning to the root of fashion and slowing down. 鈥� I know some people will be disappointed that there鈥檚 not a bigger fashion week, but I think it鈥檚 perfect that we鈥檙e slowing down and thinking about our impact, (including) our impact on the earth.鈥�

The five designers presenting runway collections at the gala are Patricia Michaels (Taos Pueblo), Himikalas Pamela Baker (Squamish, Kwakiutl, Tlingit, Haida), Lauren Good Day (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation), Jamie Okuma (Luise帽o, Wailaki, Okinawan, Shoshone-Bannock) and Jontay Kahm (Plains Cree).

Bread described Michaels鈥� looks as both ethereal and deeply felt, 鈥渃oming from such a deep and intimate part of her heart.鈥� She praised Baker鈥檚 work for its elegance and luxury and called Good Day a 鈥済ame-changer in our fashion community鈥� for making fashion more accessible.

鈥淛amie Okuma has really been making waves in the mainstream fashion industry,鈥� Bread said. 鈥淪he was the first Native person to ever showcase for the official New York Fashion Week. 鈥� I鈥檝e been a model for her. I鈥檝e watched her for years, and she has such a long legacy in Indian Country. She really paved the way (for other Indigenous designers) through her beadwork and her art.鈥�

Bread called Jontay Kahm 鈥渢he Native Alexander McQueen.鈥�

鈥淗e uses feathers and ribbons and really works his way around different materials,鈥� Bread said. 鈥淗e has such a poetic and beautiful way of bringing a look to life.鈥�

In addition to the ticketed gala, there will be a Native Creatives Market on both Friday, May 8, and Saturday, May 9, which is free and open to the public. The market will feature ready-to-wear clothing, jewelry and accessories by about two dozen Indigenous designers, presented in an informal, trunk-show atmosphere.

鈥淭here are other community events that are popping up around this weekend,鈥� Schulze said. 鈥淭he Institute of American Indian Arts is having their student fashion show on Friday, which we鈥檙e really excited to be partnering with.鈥�

Designer Carrie Wood (Din茅) has organized a pop-up event for Friday, May 8, at Chizhii Studio, 411 W. Water St., Suite D. Her pop-up, which is not affiliated with SWAIA, will feature bespoke fashion and jewelry from six Indigenous designers.

The fashion historian and curator Amber-Dawn Bear Robe (Siksika, Blackfoot) created the SWAIA Indigenous Fashion Show in 2014. Last year, she produced her own fashion week, Native Fashion Week Santa Fe, which coincided with SWAIA鈥檚 event. Bear Robe has since relocated to New York City for a tenure-track teaching position at Parsons School of Design, and she will not be hosting any Native Fashion Week events this month.

鈥淚t was really time for me to leave that city. I had hit the ceiling in terms of what I could do there, and it was time for me to expand to New York and Toronto,鈥� Bear Robe said. 鈥淏ut, having said that, if I were ever invited back to do programming for Indigenous fashion, I would, of course, always do that, because I am such a huge supporter of expanding the discourse and representation of Indigenous designers internationally.鈥�

Bear Robe recently curated an exhibiton, 鈥淎lways in Fashion,鈥� for the Textile Museum of Canada in Toronto, which opened on May 1.

鈥淎 lot of the designs that premiered at Native Fashion Week are now premiering here in Toronto 鈥� so it really is an extension of the programming I did for Native Fashion Week,鈥� Bear Robe said.

Baker, Kahm and Michaels are also taking part in the Toronto show.

鈥淚 love all of these designers. 鈥� They鈥檙e all from different regions of Indian Country, and I love the culture that they bring into their looks,鈥� Bread said.

Bread characterized SWAIA Native Fashion Week 2026 as an attempt to get back to basics.

鈥淭he world is so crazy right now that it鈥檚 good to slow down, really take in these moments 鈥� and get back to the true heart of fashion,鈥� Bread said. 鈥淚 think people are really obsessed with mass quantities and having a lot of something, but it鈥檚 good to slow down, to think about slow fashion, to think about couture 鈥� and taking your time with each garment.鈥�
