These First Nations and Indigenous designers are layering their designs with political and cultural messages.
In Canada, there are Indigenous Fashion Weeks held in Vancouver and Toronto. At the recent show in Toronto , Warren Steven Scott, made his debut.
When I met Scott, a member of the Nlaka’pamux nation from British Columbia, at a cafe in Toronto he was working on his debut womenswear collection for IFWTO that was held in late May. After graduating from Ryerson School of Fashion in 2016, Scott began working with with Toronto’s Comrags but he says he felt “compelled” whenFor his inspiration, Scott turned to Paul Seesequasis’ Indigenous Archival Photo Project.
Coincidentally Scott had accessory samples on him, so we talked as he peeled adhesives off a set of laser cut acrylic pieces that he was stringing into earrings. “The shapes are basic Coast Salish ovoids,” he explained. “The kind you might see on carvings and totem poles.” Weeks later, at IFWTO, Scott opened his collection with a prairie dress with a dainty floral print, worn overtop leggings that resemble long johns. Another look had the model in a bright windbreaker cinched at the waist. The designs echoed 90s grunge, but were also steeped in today’s love for simple fashion. The ovoid earrings in shades of red, orange or blue are worn mismatched and popped from the runway.
“My great grandmother used to weave cedar baskets, that’s two generations removed,” Scott has said when we first met. “She was the last one and it’s gone. I think we’re trying to get that back, but in our own way.”
