In addition to fashion collections, VIFW will feature a selection of artisan goods from vendors, along with performances by Indigenous artists Snotty Nose Rez Kids, The Wolfpack and more. “For the Indigenous community, the last two years has been marked by grief. We lost many cherished elders and the gruesome legacy of residential schools saturated everything, so we decided to focus this year’s VIFW on joy and celebration,” Mitton said in the release. “We hope that everyone who attends will feel festive to be in community, and see us triumphant. We’ve been here since time immemorial, and we’re still here.
The event will kick off with a Red Dress Event, hosted by Butterflies in Spirit Founder Lorelei Williams, honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, as well as members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. VIFW will close with a Van Vogue Jam event hosted by Indigenous leader Khelsilem Tl’aḵwasiḵ̓an Sxwchálten.
