First Nations Fashion by Jill Setah

Indigenous Model Call-Out

It’s with great enthusiasm that I share the news of a forthcoming fashion event, where I’ll be showcasing my work as an Indigenous Designer. Scheduled for July 12-14, 2024, the event promises a vibrant weekend festival brimming with creativity and style. Attendees can look forward to an array of Fashion Shows, featuring original designs, eco-conscious upcycled fashion, and youthful creations. The festival will also offer enriching workshops, thought-provoking panel discussions, professional photo shoots, and insights from a keynote speaker. Adding to the excitement will be live musical acts and a designer pop-up shop, among other highlights.. I am seeking Indigenous models passionate about representing my designs and showcasing traditional attire with a contemporary twist.
