Featuring maximum runway drama and insightful panel discussions, the indfashionarts festival revealed moments of joy, education and resistance.
Sage Paul understands the power in fashion. “Designers are using fashion as a form of expression, and even a political message. It’s such an accessible medium,” she says. And this ability to connect community through craft was on full display at the Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival.
And away from the hustle and bustle of it all, artists, researchers and advocates participated in panel discussions on topics like ancestral textile knowledge and how community-focused Indigenous governance models contrast mainstream fashion industry business practices. Crafted as four fulsome evenings of fashion fare, the Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival runway shows featured over 25 collections from labels like, Emme Studio, Evan Ducharme, Curtis Oland, Maru Creations, D’Arcy Moses, Artic Luxe and Robyn McLeod. Some creatives such as Michel Dumont emphasized the use of reclaimed materials in their pieces, while others like Argentinian collective MAWO honoured the history of Wichi-made textiles.
