The Taos Historical Society celebrates their 2025 honoree with a luncheon this Sunday (May 4). Artist, fashion designer and Taos Pueblo resident Patricia Michaels will be on-hand for the event.
A panel discussion on N.A.G.P.R.A. (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) will be led by Ilona Spruce of Taos Pueblo.
Patricia Michaels became a household name across America when she appeared and was the runner-up on Emmy award-winning season two of “Project Runway.”
For over 20 years, 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 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, live.
