A Vision Rooted in Community and Culture
Spearheaded by Executive Director Sandi Siegel, a Denver fashion scene veteran and advocate for Indigenous culture, the First Peoples Fashion Show was inspired by her experiences in the Sonoran Desert and the inaugural First Peoples Festival in Estes Park. “This show is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the rich heritage of indigenous communities. It’s an opportunity to honor their stories while providing a platform for their artistry to shine,” says Siegel.
