The world is weird, man. I met Ria despite already knowing her - in a way. We hit it off at Phoenix Fashion Week immediately and that was before we found out I knew her sister from through my dad's rugby coaching, This was an excellent conversation and if I'm ever in New York, a part two is imminent.

Norma Baker-Flying Horse's designs are the stuff of fashion runway dreams. They display the sophistication, impeccable tailoring and gorgeous lines of her fashion idols, including Chanel and McQueen, but what makes them exceptional is that they incorporate gorgeous details that bespeak her Native heritage. Norma Baker-Flying Horse, whose company, Red Berry Woman, bears her given Native name, is a member of the Hidatsa, Dakota Sioux and Assiniboine tribes, and her creations often bear designs from these cultures rendered via traditional techniques, including intricate beadwork and/or appliques of smoked hide, sometimes even feathers or shells. And all in a spectacular color palette.Norma has been designing bespoke pieces in and for her community for years, but recently her reach has gone national and international. She showed at Paris Fashion Week in 2019; in 2022 she won Designer of the Year at Phoenix Fashion Week and was also the co-recipient of a Cultural Recognition Visual Arts Grammy; and just in the past year Miss Minnesota wore a Red Berry Woman gown in the Miss America pageant. Here she explains how she wed her forebears' cultural skills and know-how with a taste for glamor she unexpectedly cultivated as a little girl in toy heels on the North Dakota prairie to create a singular brand. She also describes the rigors of being a self-taught and self-guided business owner who won't even let a C-section keep her from delivering a gown on schedule.https://redberrywoman.com/

When Quinlan Wilhite started Qmulative, his brand was … himself. Then it took off. | RGR 065 Quinlan started Qmulative in 2009 as an online feed about his interests: skateboarding, cars, hip-hop, street art. A few years later his grandmother taught him to sew. He took classes to get better, went full time in 2016, showed his work at Tucson Fashion Week, and in 2018 was named Lifestyle Designer of the Year at Phoenix Fashion Week. Now Qmulative is a cut-and-sew street wear brand, but it’s still all about Quinlan and his unique view on fashion. His biggest boost came from linking his very modern brand to another that’s more than a century old: His Arizona-inspired T’s, a combo of Quinlan and the 48th state, are a huge hit. ______ Rise Grind Repeat Podcast powered by EIC Agency ______ Hosted by Dustin Trout Produced by Andrei Gardiola __________ Check out the full video episode at: https://bit.ly/3dlwjnJ https://spoti.fi/2Mgfpe6 https://apple.co/2MiQdUv For more information visit our website at https://eic.agency/ We are also on Instagram @EveryImpressionCounts
