Ricky-Lee Watts
Model & Actor
One of the original Indigenous Supernatural Models, Ricky-Lee Watts is Nuučanuł from Port Alberni, Canada. He began modelling professionally in 2021 and has since been featured internationally in campaigns for Specsavers, Bank of America, and ICBC.
Representing his community, the runway has become his domain as he walks for renowned Indigenous designers across Turtle Island (North America).
Representation matters.
A reflection after walking the runway:
It's a gift to walk the runway wearing creations from Indigenous designers I greatly admire. The essence of creativity, expression, beauty, and art brought to life through movement.
Answering a call from the ancestors, imbuing Indigenous perspectives into fashion and design. We are all part of the living fabric, catalyzing change and invoking a sense of family and community. We all share an interconnectedness, something so beautiful, powerful, and downright DEADLY. ❤️💪🏽
