From a Pendleton blanket shoot… to a new line of eyewear for Aya Eyewear
Jim Yellowhawk of Black Hills, South Dakota is a prolific and well-known American native artist.
REZ13 discovered Jim Yellowhawk when we were looking for a blanket with a buffalo design for one of our models whose Indian name is “iniipoka”. Translation “buffalo child”. Long story short, it is Jim’s artwork on this gorgeous Pendleton blanket.
Check out the results of our photoshoot. The images were also approved by the Italian Vogue editorial team for the photographer’s online PhotoVogue gallery.
Second chapter of the Jim Yellowhawk story….
February 2025… When Carla D’Angelo, owner of Aya Eyewear saw Jim Yellowhawk’s stunning designs she decided to collaborate with the Black Hills, Lakota artist on a new line of eyewear for Aya.
