Designer John Pryor Brings Wearable Art to Bentonville Fashion Week

At the Bentonville Fashion Week Fall/Winter Show at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade Mall, designer John Pryor, founder of Madison Stitch, delivered a standout runway moment that blended craftsmanship, sculpture, and style into a breathtaking presentation.

Based in Kansas City, Pryor is widely known for his rugged, heirloom-quality leather bags, pieces that are built to last and crafted with intention. But at Bentonville Fashion Week, he pushed his artistry even further. Drawing from his background in furniture design and his deep appreciation for expert craftsmanship, Pryor debuted a new direction: sculptural fashion pieces that blur the line between accessory and art.

His runway collection featured striking forms created from leather, wood, and brass, transformed into wearable structures that felt bold, modern, and completely unique. Each piece showcased the raw beauty of natural materials while highlighting the precision and skill that define Madison Stitch’s signature style.
