We’re Heather Nashelle Collard and Ireland Grace Collard - mother-daughter team - and we’re 2025 Kendall Catwalk Models! Help us meet our $2,500 pledge amount in support of Furnish Hope by purchasing an event ticket to see us on the runway OR by donating below.
As a mother and daughter, this opportunity means the world to us. Heather has walked through seasons of renewal, rebuilding, and growth—and through it all, she’s always made home a place of love, strength, and comfort. Ireland is just beginning her journey, learning what it means to lead with compassion and stand up for others. Together, we believe deeply in the importance of home—not just as a place, but as a feeling of safety and belonging.
Heather is the founder and original visionary behind Nashelle Jewelry—a globally recognized, multimillion-dollar brand she led for over 22 years. Built from the ground up with relentless passion and refined artistry, Heather grew Nashelle from a one-woman startup into an internationally sold line of handmade luxury jewelry. The brand became a household name for its timeless beauty and elevated design, and continues to be so today. Heather eventually sold the company to a respected member of the Bend community, who now carries the legacy forward with care and excellence.
Today, Heather pours her creative force into IYELA, a high-end luxury spa in the heart of Bend, Oregon. IYELA specializes in modern beauty aesthetics, energy healing, and curated self-care rituals. With every service, Heather’s hands create more than transformation—they create empowerment. She brings the same fire, refinement, and vision that fueled her fashion empire into every detail of the spa experience.
Heather is also the founder of Gilzik, LLC, a family-owned general contracting, design, and development company based in Central Oregon. Gilzik blends skilled craftsmanship with modern design and strong project execution, serving homeowners, investors, and developers with excellence. Woman-led and legacy-focused, Gilzik reflects Heather’s long-term commitment to building with intention, vision, and elevated standards.
Ireland is ten years old and already full of heart, drive, and grace. She’s entering fifth grade at Jewel Elementary, dances competitively at Unity Dance Collective, and is active in both cheer and gymnastics. As the youngest of five children, Ireland is bold, loving, and always up for a new challenge. She’s thrilled to walk in Catwalk for a Cause—not just for the fashion, but for the chance to give back and grow as a young leader.
When asked who inspires her most, Heather shares: “It’s the women who rise. The ones who show up in their truth - not just in their success stories, but in the chapters they didn’t choose. The women who alchemize adversity into impact, who turn pain into purpose. They remind me that with God by our side, there is always a way to pick up the pieces and create something breathtaking.”
We’re proud to raise $2,500 for Catwalk for a Cause and to help shine a light on the life-changing work Furnish Hope is doing!
