Indigenous Enterprise and Assembly NYC Celebrate "STILL HERE" Collaboration with NYFW Powwow

The spirit of New York Fashion Week was redefined on Saturday night as Indigenous Enterprise and Assembly New York hosted a powerful launch party at Assembly’s Lower East Side store. The event celebrated their "STILL HERE" collaboration, debuting a collection of graphic tees, hats, and fine jewelry by renowned Native silversmith Lionel Thundercloud.

The intimate gathering was transformed by a live, vibrant powwow performance from the Indigenous Enterprise crew, bringing together friends of both brands and members of the fashion community, including Christian Allaire and Dom Pablo. The performance turned the downtown storefront into a dynamic cultural space, rooted in movement, music, and community.

The "STILL HERE" collection itself is a fusion of contemporary streetwear and profound cultural heritage. Guests were able to explore the pieces while enjoying mocktails from Poppi and later cocktails by DrinkDIO. In a respectful observance of the sanctity of the powwow ritual, alcoholic beverages were served only after the performance concluded.

More than just a product launch, the event spotlighted Indigenous Enterprise's core mission: to preserve and propel Indigenous traditions forward. By bridging performance art and fashion, the collective uses modern storytelling tools to empower Native youth and share their living culture with a global audience.

The celebration served as a preview for Indigenous Enterprise’s upcoming run at The Joyce Theater [joyce.org}, titled STILL HERE, from September 16–21.
