This will be the second Rez in the City fashion show that will be curated, the first was a huge success. Being a designer for Rez in the City is about more than just creating fashion—it's about bridging worlds, challenging narratives, and empowering communities.
​
Representation in fashion matters. When Indigenous designs grace runways, they assert that Indigenous people belong in these spaces—and that our artistry is world-class. For those back home on the Rez, it’s a message that our voices, dreams, and creativity are valid and celebrated.
