The designer’s first avant-garde collection nods to traditional powwow regalia.
A fan of McQueen and futuristic designers like Iris van Herpen, Kahm became obsessed with the idea of silhouette and shape, and decided to self-teach himself how to sew. “I had my first fashion show in my high school gymnasium, as part of a talent show,” says Kahm, who showed just a few organza and feather dresses.
His couture pieces are all sorts of extravagant. Kahm toyed with sculptural, voluminous dresses inspired by his Indigenous culture—particularly, its powwow regalia—abstract art, and the afterlife. “I played around with the idea of feather dresses, bustles, and ribbon dresses—taking and making them ribbon gowns,” says Kahm . “I wanted to touch on my Native culture and elements of traditional regalia—using obvious shapes and silhouettes, but making it more fashion.”
