Custom designed dupioni silk & swarovski crystal gown by Joey Galon, ATELIER for Miss Alaska USA, Alyssa London. *contributing authentic Native American drawings by renown artist Preston Singletary Alyssa is proud of her Native American Tlingit tribe and is a sought out keynote speaker across the country on behalf of her Native American culture. She wanted me to incorporate some symbolism into her gown. After researching the various Native Indian tribal robes, I thought it would be cool to have the train of the gown mimick a tribal robe over her shoulders. Alyssa commissioned renown Native American artist to draw traditional Native American (Whale) symbols onto the gown. I then crystallized his work then when Alyssa entered into the stage, she had the train drapping over her shoulders like a traditional tribal blanket presenting the animal artwork then dropped it to the floor revealing the her gown underneath. The gown has over 5,000 hand applied swarovski crystals onto the gown. Special thanks to my dear friend, client and former Mrs. Universe and First Nations Ashley Callingbull for referring and introducing me to Miss Alaska USA. #missusa #missusa2017 #joeygalonatelier #joeygalon #fashiondesigner #gowndesigner #costumedesigner #tlingetribe #tlinget #nativeamerican #nativeindian #prestonsingletary
