Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week presents Opening Night Red Dress Event
A powerful night of remembrance, resilience and red.
"We come together wearing red, in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, men, Two-Spirit, and LGBTQ+ members of our communities.
As we remember our murdered and missing family and community members, we honour their beauty, strength, and collective resilience. This night is a time to bear witness, to hold space for grief, and to celebrate the legacy and spirit of those we have lost.
Through fashion, movement, and ceremony, we express our deepest love and respect for those we have lost and recommit to the ongoing work of justice, remembrance, and protection.
Bring your cousins, your aunties, and your relations. Stand with us in red."
High fashion meets Indigenous couture, celebrating relationships, community, and cultural resurgence in the magnificent designs of both up-and-comers and fan favourites.
