It was a benchmark moment for the Native community, and ChasingHorse was actively involved, working to amplify the Native vote. That casting opportunity, which she initially thought \u201cwas too good to be true,\u201d opened doors that led to her signing and quickly propelled her into high-profile shoots and runway appearances. In the few short years since her debut, ChasingHorse has graced the pages of Vogue, AnOther, Elle, and V Magazine, working with photography icons like Inez and Vinoodh. \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve gotten the opportunity to work with them, I\u2019ve really just studied them,\u201d she says of the handful of experiences with the duo. \u201cThey taught me not to focus too much on angles\u2026to be in the moment.\u201d That emphasis on authenticity has shaped her career and fueled her drive to bring Native representation to the forefront of fashion, an industry that has been historically exclusive. \u201cI want the industry to give Indigenous models a chance, to see us and hear our stories,\u201d she explains, underscoring the importance of visibility for her community.<\/div>\n<div class=\"pic40\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/241001_MODELS_DOT_COM_14_QUANNAH_427-2k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2997\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64215\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"credits\">\nSilk crepe de chine shirt &#8211; HIGHLIGHT STUDIO\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">&#8220;It&#8217;s about having the strength to be able to tell your story and understand how important it is to have Indigenous voices at the forefront&#8230;&#8221; <\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 columns\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/241001_MODELS_DOT_COM_14_QUANNAH_265-800w.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64214\" \/>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 columns\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/241001_MODELS_DOT_COM_14_QUANNAH_506-800w.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64213\" \/>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"credits\">\n  Silk crepe de chine shirt &#8211; HIGHLIGHT STUDIO | Shorts &#8211; S\u00c9BLINE\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\nChasingHorse&#8217;s deep-rooted commitment to advocating for environmental justice, tribal sovereignty, and Indigenous rights permeate into her modeling work whenever possible. Working with brands like Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, and Victoria\u2019s Secret, she has found that the wide spectrum of fashion can serve as a platform for change. \u201cI\u2019m always trying to make sure that everything I do\u2026has a way to give back to my community,\u201d she says, acknowledging the industry\u2019s environmental impact and her role in pushing for sustainable practices. In addition to her modeling achievements, her 2022 documentary <em>Walking Two Worlds<\/em> about her life, was a project that allowed her to share her story on her own terms. The film was an intimate look at her dual role as both model and advocate, celebrating her culture and heritage while shedding light on the challenges her community faces. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of hard work, but I believe in it,\u201d she says, emphasizing the dedication needed to represent Indigenous voices authentically. \u201cIt&#8217;s about having the strength to be able to tell your story and understand how important it is to have Indigenous voices at the forefront of all these causes.\u201d\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pic40\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/241001_MODELS_DOT_COM_14_QUANNAH_877-2k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2997\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64211\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 columns\" id=\"thumbs\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<h2>The Graduates<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"small-block-grid-2 medium-block-grid-7\" id=\"thumbsul\">\n<li id=\"thumb-colin-jones\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-colin-jones\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Colin-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Colin-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Colin Jones<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-douta-sidibe\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-douta-sidibe\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Douta-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Douta-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Douta Sidibe<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-karolina-spakowski\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-karolina-spakowski\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Karolina-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Karolina-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Karolina Spakowski<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-lara-menezes\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-lara-menezes\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Lara-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Lara-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Lara Menezes<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-quannah-chasinghorse\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-quannah-chasinghorse\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Quannah-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Quannah-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Quannah ChasingHorse<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-wali\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-wali\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Wali-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Wali-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Wali<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-ylang-messenguiral\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-ylang-messenguiral\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Ylang-200x200-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2024\/10\/Ylang-200x200-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Ylang Messenguiral<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ bottom\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\n$(\"[id^='thumb-']\").hover(function() {\n    $(this).find('img').toggle();\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Graduates Quannah ChasingHorse For the past decade, Models.com&#8217;s The Graduates series has been a visual check-in with the models of the moment who have consistently performed at the highest levels, going from the rising newcomers on the Hot List to the Top 50 recognizable muses throughout the world.
