Kenneth Johnson Studio

Honored to be at the SWAIA Native Fashion Week Press Cocktail Hour tonight.

Tomorrow I’ll be modeling for Indigenous designer Himikalas Pamela Baker and these pieces are absolutely breathtaking. This is not just fashion. It is ancestral storytelling, artistry, integrity and Indigenous intelligence woven into every detail.

I’m deeply grateful Indigenous fashion from all nations is finally being recognized and respected in the fashion world. These designs carry history, spirit and wisdom.

As an older model, I’m proud to represent presence, intention and the power of embracing every season of a woman’s life.

Beautiful seeing friends tonight including Chef Lois Ellen Frank, actor Gene Brave Rock from Wonder Woman, Dark Winds, and Native American jeweler artist Kenneth Johnson and Cythnia Canyon publisher Trend Magazine.

Tomorrow is going to be extraordinary. 🔥

Excited to debut a new Georgia marble sculpture, “Connection,” this weekend at the 68th Annual Indian Fair & Market at the Heard Museum.

If you’re at the market, come by Booth I-15 to see the new sculpture and check out my latest jewelry and work.

Hope to see you this weekend!
