About Patricia Michaels from her website: “or over 20 years, Patricia Michaels has been producing one-of-a-kind haute couture that transcends cultures and defies fashion trends. Growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she was surrounded by beauty—in culture, landscape, and art, all which greatly influenced her design aesthetic. Her Native American culture is deeply rooted in New Mexico, and as a child, she spent a lot of time at Taos Pueblo where many of her family, including her grandparents, lived. In this majestic, untouched terrain, Patricia received a unique education—the environment became her teacher, and with the help of her elders, she learned to respect and honor the process of working with her hands and heart.
Most recently, Patricia has gained national recognition for Peabody Essex Museum show, "Native Fashion Now" 2015, and international attention in 2014 after receiving the highly prestigious Arts and Design Award from the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian board of directors in New York City. She is the very first recipient of this award, a historic achievement.
After her successful run on the Emmy Award-winning season 11 of “Project Runway” in 2012 where she won the first runner up title, she was asked back to star in “Project Runway All Stars” Season 4. Her “Project Runway” debut was a first for a Native American designer and has brought many new opportunities to showcase her highly sought out fashion and textiles.”
