Nashville Western Wear Designers & Brands - Rodeo Style Guide

I’m Curating the Next Big Moment in Western Fashion in Nashville—Western & Contemporary Brands, Let’s Connect I’m excited to officially share that I’ve partnered with Music City Rodeo as the Fashion & Style Editor for this year’s program. If you're a Western wear designer/brand (think Lucchese Bootmaker), or if you've incorporated Western influence in your Spring/Summer 2026 collection (think The Great. / Emily + Meritt), I want to see it. Over the course of three days (May 28-30), Music City Rodeo will welcome approximately 55,000 attendees, with guests traveling in from across 48 states and internationally to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Inside the arena, 13,000 guests fill seats each day, while 500–600 VIPs per night experience the event through the premium Lexus Lounge. With 20K+ printed programs in circulation, this is a real opportunity to shape how Western fashion is seen, worn, and experienced at scale. My focus will be bringing rodeo style into a more elevated, editorial lens—bridging tradition with what’s next—and translating that vision beyond the page through a curated VIP experience. Now the fun part— If you’re a designer, brand, or showroom with a strong point of view on modern Western or Western-leaning style, I want to hear from you. Send me your favorite brands and pieces for consideration. New collections. Heritage icons. Emerging labels doing it differently. I'm building head-to-toe looks. This is the official Style Guide for Music City Rodeo. Submissions close April 20. Email me at [email redacted]. Mailing address provided upon request. If it belongs in the rodeo conversation for Summer 2026, let’s talk. Open to introductions, submissions, and standout brands ready to be seen. Thank you in advance, and feel free to share with your fashion professional network! To learn more and buy tickets, visit https://lnkd.in/gbtauw_V
