Rebekah Jarvey, widely known as the Indigenous Fashionista, is an Emmy-nominated Indigenous fashion designer, fashion show producer and director, model, emcee, cultural advocate, and artisan. Proudly representing her Chippewa, Cree, and Blackfeet heritage as an enrolled member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe, Rebekah carries forward a family legacy of beadwork and sewing spanning four generations. Together with her son, Royce, she continues this tradition into its fifth generation.

As Founding Partner and President of the International Indigenous Fashion Council – Montana Chapter, Rebekah works to increase Indigenous representation and visibility in fashion. Her documentary, Native Hope Champions: Red on the Runway, streams on FNX and received an Emmy nomination for its work bringing awareness to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW).
Rebekah has produced, directed, coordinated, showcased, and modeled in more than 100 fashion shows. In 2026, she presented her work in Tokyo, Japan, adding to a career that has taken her designs and productions to international runways and events.

As a cultural consultant for Nike N7, she contributed to the creation of the SB Nike N7 Dunks, now on display at the National Museums of World Culture in Göteborg, Sweden. Her work has been featured in Vogue and presented at Paris Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, and during the Cannes Film Festival.
Rebekah's work spans ready-to-wear, upcycled designs, and Indigenous luxury fashion. Her current collections include:
RJ World: Pikuni Under the Yamato Sky — a bold, anime-inspired collection filled with vibrant color, playful storytelling, and Rebekah's unique Indigenous perspective.
Indigenous Futurism — a collaborative collection with Sage Mountain Flower exploring Indigenous futures through contemporary design, culture, and imagination.
Rebekah continues to expand her influence as an Indigenous fashion leader, educator, and cultural advocate, using her platform to uplift Indigenous voices, inspire future generations, and celebrate the beauty, resilience, and innovation of Native American people on global stages.
