Don't Miss Vancouver's Indigenous Fashion Spectacle: Where Tradition and Trendsetters Collide!

Heads Up, Fashion Lovers—something spectacular is coming your way! Mark your calendars for November 20-23 as Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week makes its grand return to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Prepare to be dazzled by a breathtaking fusion of traditional and contemporary styles from brilliant Indigenous designers across Turtle Island! 🌍✨

In its fifth year, this sensational event continues to spotlight and empower Indigenous talent with a theme hotter than ever—Fire. It's all about stoking the flames of Indigenous strength and taking the reins of the fashion industry to ensure Indigenous values shine bright on the global stage.

🥰 Don’t miss the iconic Red Dress Event on opening night, a poignant tribute to missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, men, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Feel the power, stand in solidarity by wearing red, and join in honouring the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities while reflecting on the crucial needs for healing and justice.

Wait, there's more! Don't overlook the other enchanting evenings—All My Relations will indulge you with the sheer beauty of Indigenous haute couture, while Indigenous Futures presents chic streetwear that’s a nod to hip-hop culture and a vision of a future where Indigenous creativity dominates. Spirit of the West Coast will close the week by connecting you with the land and community through heart-stirring art and regalia.

✨ Special bonus for the aficionados out there—Indigenous Artisan Market returns with spectacular, handmade goodies that cater to all tastes—from exquisite jewelry to stylish clothing, to unique beauty items, perfect for those early holiday gifts.

This extraordinary event was founded in 2017 by Joleen Mitton and it stands tall as the nation’s first Indigenous fashion week. With its roots steeped in tradition and eyes set on a promising future, it’s time to celebrate the vibrant artistry across Turtle Island. Front-row seats are saved for Indigenous Elders, with ticket prices that won’t burn your purse... So, what are you waiting for?
