Pink Patterned Calico Original Ribbon Skirt & Top

Sacred Lineage, One of One Ribbon Dress Collection Debuted on the SWAIA Native Fashion Week Gala Runway in Santa Fe, NM. The collection explores matriarchy as a living system of care, memory, and continuity. Rooted in the visual and structural language of ribbon dresses, the work reflects the enduring presence and influence of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation of the Northern Plains. Through a contemporary lens, the collection reinterprets traditional forms using layered textiles, silhouettes of tradition and narrative surfaces of Lauren’s original ledger art. Each piece functions as an individual story—honoring lineage, resilience, and the transmission of knowledge through women, motherhood and community. This work approaches cultural influence with intention and respect, prioritizing research, acknowledgment, and the integrity of the traditions that inform it.
