Sky Eagle Collection Soars at Break Free Where Fashion Meets Advocacy

Fashion and advocacy collide this season as the Sky Eagle Collection takes center stage at the Break Free Foundation’s “Recovery on the Runway”, happening on February 8th at Judson Memorial in New York City. This groundbreaking partnership between designer Dante Biss-Grayson and the Break Free Foundation promises to redefine the runway, weaving together cultural heritage, resilience, and a powerful message of recovery.

Founded by Dante Biss-Grayson, a Native American artist, veteran, and advocate, the Sky Eagle Collection is more than just a fashion brand—it’s a living testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Created in collaboration with his wife and muse, Yanti, and named after their daughter, the brand is rooted in a deep commitment to family, art, and community.

For Biss-Grayson, fashion is more than an aesthetic pursuit; it’s a medium for storytelling. “We are still here,” he often declares—a powerful mantra reflecting his mission to amplify Native voices, preserve cultural heritage, and inspire future generations. His designs transcend traditional fashion, incorporating painting, poetry, and sculpture elements to create wearable art that speaks to identity and resilience.

At “Recovery on the Runway,” Sky Eagle Collection will debut a stunning capsule that marries modern elegance with cultural storytelling. Expect couture lace ribbon dresses and contemporary designs infused with Indigenous motifs, each celebrating heritage and perseverance.

“This collection is about honoring resilience, truth-telling, and the power of pushing boundaries,” says Biss-Grayson. As a veteran who has found healing through art, his work not only challenges the stigma surrounding recovery but also shines a light on the often-overlooked intersections of mental health, addiction, and community advocacy.

The showcase will feature more than just breathtaking fashion. Ashley Callingbull, the first Indigenous woman crowned Miss Universe Canada, will walk the runway as a beacon of empowerment and representation. Adding to the cultural richness, Madeline Goodfox and Gigi Sieke of the Osage Nation will perform a traditional dance, honoring the beauty of Osage culture and reinforcing the show’s celebration of storytelling through art.

The collaboration between Sky Eagle and Break Free highlights the transformative power of art and advocacy. As part of Break Free’s mission to destigmatize mental health and substance use recovery, the runway becomes a space for voices that often go unheard. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Break Free Foundation’s scholarship fund, which helps individuals access life-saving treatment.

“Collaborating with Break Free is a deeply personal and meaningful opportunity,” says Biss-Grayson. “It’s about creating a space where stories are told, recovery is celebrated, and we can inspire a new generation to embrace their journeys.”

The Sky Eagle Collection and Break Free Foundation are setting a new standard in an industry often criticized for its lack of inclusivity. By centering recovery and resilience, they’re not just showcasing fashion—they’re building a movement. For Biss-Grayson, it’s a chance to prove that fashion can be beautiful and transformative, a vehicle for cultural preservation and social change.

“Recovery on the Runway” is more than a fashion show—it celebrates humanity, creativity, and the power of second chances. Be there to witness Sky Eagle soar and experience the fusion of fashion and advocacy that’s redefining the future of New York Fashion Week.
