Quannah Chasinghorse on PROTECTING Indigenous People for Net-a-Porter December 27, 2021 AOC Fashion

To call Quannah Chasinghorse “a rising model” borders on being insulting — even though such a rise is a long-held dream for the daughter of Hän Gwich’in and Oglala Lakota ancestors. Knowing that AOC holds Chloe designer Gabriela Hearst in total reverence, her deeply personal words about Quannah Chasinghorse carry near-Biblical weight.

“To have a dimensional being like her open and close a show for the first time at a Gabriela Hearst collection is an honor – a small stepping stone to a magnificent trajectory,” Hearst told Porter Magazine’s Gillian Brett in Monday’s interview ‘New Horizons With Quannah Chasinghorse’.

Brooklyn-based designer Lauren Manoogian’s knitwear is ethically crafted in Peru; Casaola’s knitwear is produced locally in Italy from considered materials with a fully traceable supply chain. Amsterdam-based CAES is very prominent in the slow, sustainable fashion movement. Stella McCartney is absolutely sustainable. Net-a-Porter isn’t promoting the sustainability credentials and links to certain fashion pieces are not in Net Sustain.
