'Many rising models now have something special and unique about them that they bring -- they aren't just meant to wear clothes,' writes model Quannah Chasinghorse | Opinion
Quannah Chasinghorse is an Indigenous activist and land protector who has become a sought-after model over the past two years. All opinions expressed in this article belong to the author. The feature is part of CNN Style's seriesDespite being into fashion since I was young, I never once thought that I could be a model.
It's really beautiful to be a part of a larger change in the fashion industry where people from all walks of life are increasingly represented. But my rule is, if you want to work with me, you have to work with all of me. I won't cut or change the color of my hair and I won't cover up my facial tattoos because they are part of my identity as an Indigenous person.
I love how supportive Anna Wintour and Peter were, knowing intuitively how much wearing Native jewelry on the red carpet would mean to me. I wore some of my auntie's pieces again during my shoot with Vogue Mexico, as well as ones made by local Alaskan artists.
