The Indigenous fashion scene is ever-evolving, and the the latest category to get an unexpected Native twist is streetwear.
“I grew up on a border town to the Navajo reservation, which helped balance my different identities as a Diné student in a non-Native-dominated society,” said Yazzie. “It wasn’t until I arrived in college that I found a passion for the arts. The world I was taking part in had a deep displacement of representation for Indigenous people. I wanted the clothing I was wearing to tell my stories.
I started selling at small art events, flea markets, and powwows; within the scope of a few years, I had OXDX pieces displayed in museums.”“As a duty to my community, our bigger plan here at OXDX is to educate upcoming artists and entrepreneurs and to become stronger contenders with larger entities. We want people to know that Native artists exist, that Native designers kill it, and that we deserve the same opportunities as others. Collaborate with us.
