The Indigenous Collective was created in 2024 with the goal of using fashion as a bridge for knowledge and recognition of Indigenous cultures. “We want to showcase the work of First Nations and, above all, convey the richness and creativity of our cultures through our clothing, jewelry, shoes, accessories, and other creations,” explains Jason Picard-Binet, president of Bastien Canada and a member of the Collective. “This is a first-time experience for the Collective and for the Montreal Fashion Week organization,” Jason explains. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity for both sides and a great showcase to demonstrate who we are and highlight Indigenous talents.” If you love fashion, this is the perfect opportunity to shop 100% authentic products. No “ Made in China ”! Here,You’ll be supporting designers and entrepreneurs from the 11 Indigenous Nations in Quebec. The Indigenous Collective is offering three ranges of activities: conferences, a fashion show, and pop-up shops. It’s free and open to everyone.
