“Fashion is a statement, it has a political role and is a way to highlight the consciousness of the society at that time.”

Dayna Simpson

We acknowledge their continued connection and contribution to land, water and community, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded; this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
