PENNY SINGER
Penny Singer
Penny Singer, from the Navajo Nation, was inspired by her mother’s teachings to master sewing and various techniques. A graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts, she incorporates photo transfers and Navajo geometric designs on fabric to create award-winning garments. Her “ready-to-wear” line redefines Indigenous fashion. She has received prestigious awards from SWAIA, Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum Guild, Eiteljorg Indian Market and Best in Show at the 2024 Tesoro Indian Market. Her work, featured in Vogue, aims to fuse fashion with cultural reclamation. Singer was also featured in the first SWAIA Indigenous Fashion Show during SWAIA Native Fashion Week. "The fabric is my canvas, the thread is my paint, and the embellishments are my texture."
