Native designer Bethany Yellowtail is teaming up with Carhartt to create a line of winter wear inspired by the land surrounding her and the stories of her people.
She’s a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation and belongs to the Iikooshtakaatbaatchaache district of the Crow Nation - the “Mighty Few.”
Starting her own fashion label in 2015 with the intention of seeing her community represented in mainstream fashion, Bethany Yellowtail has seen award winning success.
The collaboration with Carhartt is one that continues the story of her people and honors the connection they have with the land surrounding them.
I’m extremely excited to see what comes next from this!

And she's not a new face on the block either. She's an award winning designer, was selected for She's Next in Fashion, and was recognized at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards.
