Luncheon By Design 2022
On April 14, 2022, Luncheon by Design featured Ojibwe author and Vogue Fashion and Style writer Christian Allaire with an inspiring presentation on Indigenous designers making waves in the fashion world. In conversation with Associate Curator of Native Arts Dakota Hoska, Allaire highlighted the ways these artists incorporate Indigenous sensibilities into their creations while addressing priorities like sustainability, reverence, and appropriation.
Luncheon by Design 2022 was co-chaired by Merle C. Chambers and W. Richard West, Jr. and presented by Merle C. Chambers and John Brooks, Inc. The virtual program was sponsored by Neiman Marcus, which matched each virtual ticket purchase with a donation. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Native Arts department’s acquisitions. Thank you to all who attended in-person and virtually.
