Reimagining Indigenous Luxury on the Las Vegas Strip

This past season in Las Vegas, something powerful happened. Within the opulent walls of the Cesar’s Palace— a place synonymous with luxury, exclusivity, and high fashion — Indigenous designers, models, and creatives stood center stage. Designers K.Lookinghorse, Vividus, and supporting jewelry designer, Kreations by Kehala, took to the runway and trade show floor with the Reservation Economic Summit brought by NCAIED.

At Creator’s Favorite LLC, we were proud to stand in support of this moment, not just behind the camera, but behind the movement.

K. Lookinghorse x VIVIDUS: A Celebration of Indigenous Excellence

The evening spotlighted the visionary collaboration between Kayla Lookinghorse-Smith and couture design house VIVIDUS, two Native American-led fashion brands redefining what Indigenous luxury looks and feels like. Their partnership culminated in a stunning closing runway at Drai’s Las Vegas, hosted in partnership with the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (NCAIED).

When Indigenous fashion enters mainstream and elite venues, it shifts more than just perception — it reshapes the narrative. The presence of Native designers at the Cesar’s Palace wasn’t about fitting in. It was about owning the space, rooted in sovereignty, culture, and vision. The week closed with a networking event hosted at the Wynn Las Vegas - the “VIVIDUS Afterparty” was a celebration of collaboration and the first Indigenous-led event hosted at the renowned venue.

A huge thanks to our creative partners, Viisual Photography and assistant, Armando, who brought vision, focus, and artistry to the table. With a complementary shoot curated and produced by Creator’s Favorite LLC. This shoot is a reflection of what happens when Indigenous storytelling meets world-class production.

What we witnessed in Las Vegas was the beginning of new relationships, new creative collaborations, and new possibilities for Indigenous talent across fashion, beauty, and media.
