How Amber Midthunder Celebrated Native American Designers at Yaamava' Fashion Daze

"I definitely look to the help of the professionals around me, because fashion has been something I've learned over time," Midthunder admits. "I think about the time of day of course, inside or outside, practical things like that."

She also considers the emotional impact of the garments she wears. "Always what is most important to me is the way it makes me feel and what is the goal of how I want to feel. Powerful, sexy, cute, edgy? There's a feeling that comes when you put on the outfit and it just feels good. So, I look for that feeling."
