On the evening of Saturday, August 16, during Santa Fe’s Indian Market weekend, 4KINSHIP hosted Rebellious Threads: Upcycled Luxe and Indigenous Roots — an unapologetic, one-night-only fashion performance that spotlighted Indigenous creativity across fashion, music, movement, and visual art.

Threads became more than garments—they stood as metaphors for resistance, interconnection, and transformation. One loose thread unraveled systems. Multiple threads woven together created a masterpiece. Like each artist, skater, and designer in the Indigenous Futures 4EVER circle, our collective creativity rose as a force of reclamation and future-making.
This celebration of Upcycled Luxe fused streetwear and tradition, archival rebellion and Indigenous elegance—blurring the lines between cultural memory, radical care, and underground energy. At its heart was Indigenous upcycling: a design philosophy rooted in honoring the earth by giving new life to materials, resisting waste, and reclaiming value from what might otherwise be discarded. This practice reflects ancestral teachings of respect, reciprocity, and sustainability, ensuring that creativity remains inseparable from care for the land.

“It was incredible to witness the teamwork, the smiles, the hugs, and the passion from this collective event. In a world that often struggles with division, these indigenous creatives showed how powerful it is when we lift each other up. We were honored to host the visionary talent of The Son of Picasso—and his groundbreaking upcycling and artwear process.”
Amy Denet Deal, founder of 4KINSHIP
The night featured a dynamic lineup of next-generation Indigenous talent and collaborators, including: Adamari Salaiz, Alejandro Alvarado, Bella Loren, Di’Orr Greenwood, Dustin Martin, Elliot Tsoodle, Jaden Luna, Kayla Banks, Lily Yeung, Micheal Ulibarri, Nas Sharif, Raven Bright, Ricci Amitrano, Serena Adams, Shawnshine Harrison, Tesla Wolfe, Than Povi Martinez, and Ty Fierce Metteba—with original designs by The Son of Picasso and 4KINSHIP.
The fashion show was presented by 4KINSHIP, in collaboration with The Son of Picasso and supported by Pinterest, which centered on Indigenous upcycling as both practice and philosophy: a reclamation of materials, stories, and power.
