INYFW hosted six runway shows featuring 30 designers — some with ties to Indigenous communities in “Canada.”

“I think it’s really special to see what emerging designers are doing, and what an honour to get to be a part of that group.”

A photo of four Indigenous people, two women wearing blouses and skirts, and two men wearing jeans, long-sleeve shirts, and hats. The text reads: "Our runway garments are meant to propel contemporary Indigenous Andean design forward. Often there is this thinking that Indigenous peoples are part of the past and our work is meant to challenge that. We are a living, breathing culture - just like everyone else’s - with so much to contribute to this world. This is why being part of INYFW is so amazing. We get to show the world who we are and what makes us so in-genius and beautiful."
