This year’s gala, championing Canadian fashion innovation, celebrated names such as Aurora James.
This weekend, the annual Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards marked its 10th anniversary, and the Toronto gala certainly didn’t disappoint. The event returned once again to honor those innovating within the Canadian fashion landscape—celebrating names such as designer and 15 Percent Pledge founder Aurora James and breakout Indigenous model Heather Diamond Strongarm, who hails from Fishing Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan.
Indigenous curator and historian Amber-Dawn Bear Robe , who heads up the annual fashion show at the Santa Fe Indian Market, received the Changemaker Award for her dedication to uplifting and supporting Indigenous designers. Strongarm, meanwhile, received the Fresh Face Award—a no-brainer trophy for the Saulteaux-Cree model, given she dominated the catwalks at Versace, Givenchy, and Ralph Lauren this past fashion month. The evening also highlighted those working behind the scenes.
