FORT HALL — LaShayne Hevewah, Shoshone-Bannock tribal member, modeled at Los Angeles Fashion Week (LAFW) on October 12, at Skylight ROW in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). Hevewah has done acting and stand-in roles for commercials, television shows, and movies. Hevewah is twenty-three years old, he’s the son of Valerie Bagley and Robert Lucas Hevewah and is employed at the Shoshone-Bannock Casino and Hotel as a drop team member. He is signed with the agency Urban Talent Management based in Utah.
The opportunity to model in Los Angeles for Fashion Week fell into Hevewah’s lap by chance. While scrolling on Instagram he saw a post for a chance to model during the Los Angeles Fashion Week Festival (LAFWF) he thought “this is probably fake” but decided to apply regardless. After doing research and asking around he discovered it was a real event, looking for real models, and he was going to be a part of the show. Hevewah had to sell eight tickets for the event to cover his entry fees. On October 8, Hevewah, his mother Valerie, sister Alexa, and best friend Daniel drove from Fort Hall to Los Angeles to attend the event. (cont.)
