QUILLWORK COUTURE MAKING A STATEMENT -LWORK X INDIGENOUS LUXE
*Lily could have picked anyone in the world to design her dress for this monumental moment in her life, and she chose me-just a Native kid who grew up wanting to be an artist.* -Joe Big Mountain Porcupine quillwork is an Indigenous art form
"Quillwork reflects the longest legacy of living craftsmanship in my corner of Indian Country.... It is hugely culturally significant to so many nations.* -Lily Gladstone
Porcupine quillwork is an Indigenous art form unique to North America. Artists appliqué, embroider, wrap, or plait intricate designs onto clothing, moccasins, jewelry, pipe bags, and birchbark containers. Statement pieces by Joe Big Mountain have appeared in fashion magazines and on the red carpets of both the Emmy Awards and the Oscars. Quilling techniques belong to specific families or communities. The historic collaboration between Gucci and Ironhorse Quillwork, Big Mountain's jewelry house, protected this Indigenous knowledge. Rather than teach Gucci the techniques, Big Mountain and his team of Native artists crafted the elaborate quillwork details, while Gucci's former creative director, Sabato De Sarno, designed the sumptuous gowns.

I'm in the US and would very much like a handmade beaded guitar strap from an indiginous artisan. Rather than purchasing from a commercial factory operation, I hope to work with an individual artist. Anybody? #indigisky #indiginousart #indiginouscrafts #nativeart #nativecrafts #nativesmallbusiness
