Fraser Valley designer Rebecca Baker-Grenier will take the stage at Vancouver’s Indigenous Fashion Week later this month.
Baker-Grenier is showing her We Are Warriors collection, which references the traditional armour of her ancestors in the Kwakiutł, Dzawada'enuxw, and Skwxwú7mesh First Nations (communities based on Vancouver Island and in Squamish). The Current sat down with Baker-Grenier last May to talk about runways, regalia, and Indigenous resilience. (You can read that interview here.)
She has been designing regalia for her family since she was 11 years old, but she entered the world of couture fashion nearly three years ago. Since then, she has shown work at Toronto and New York fashion weeks.
Vancouver’s Indigenous Fashion Week takes place from November 20 to 30 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver.
