THE GOOD STUFF: Lindley Wyatt, a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) modeled at the RES 2026 Fashion Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 25.
There were 4 prominent Indigenous Designers at the show:
-Wabanoonkwe
-Lesley Hampton
-Randi Nelson
-Lauren Good Day
Lindley walked for Randi Nelson, Secwepemc Bonaparte/ St’uxwews First Nation.
For this design, Randi Nelson recreated the symbolic ribbon dress in different materials. Randi refurbished an old mink shawl to create ribbons of soft fur throughout the piece.

Lindley is the daughter of Dr. Reva Ballew & David Wyatt and the granddaughter of Carla Sneed Ballew. (Photo contributed)
