RES 2027 will include an Indigenous fashion runway and networking reception on March 10 at Soleia during the Reservation Economic Summit in Las Vegas. NCAIED is seeking one fashion producer and four Native or Indigenous designers for the one-hour runway presentation.
RES 2027 Fashion Show: Quick Facts
- Date: March 10, 2027
- Event: RES Networking Reception & Fashion Show
- Location: Soleia, Las Vegas
- Runway format: one-hour fashion presentation followed by a networking reception
- Designer opportunities: four featured Native/Indigenous designer positions
- Producer opportunity: one fashion producer role
What NCAIED Is Looking For
The selected fashion producer will work with the NCAIED planning team and oversee stage production, model casting, music, backstage flow and the overall runway timeline.
NCAIED says four selected Native or Indigenous designers will present their latest collections on the RES runway.
A Fashion and Indigenous Business Opportunity
The fashion show sits inside a major Indigenous business summit rather than a fashion-only event. That creates a different kind of opportunity: designers can place their work in front of entrepreneurs, Tribal leaders, executives, partners and other decision-makers who are already attending RES for business development and networking.
For Powwow Times readers following Indigenous fashion, this is another example of Native design moving through both cultural and commercial spaces—from community-based creative work to national business conferences and major runway platforms.
Important Application-Date Warning
NCAIED’s current fashion-show page contains conflicting dates. It says applications close October 17, 2027, while also saying applicants under consideration will be notified in December 2026. Because those dates cannot both describe the same application cycle as written, applicants should confirm the current deadline directly through the official RES page before relying on the posted date.
