Fresh off the heels of London Fashion week, Cree-Métis fashion designer has returned to showcase her collection at Ryerson University.
One of Canada’s pioneering Indigenous fashion designers, Angela DeMontigny has been selling her designs since 1995 across the globe. Her unique designs incorporate traditional materials like leathers, fur and intricate beadwork that is given a modern flare taking the form of jackets and dresses.
“I’ve always set out to be a contemporary designer, I don’t ever want to do anything that’s deemed stereotypical because I want to show a different side, change people’s perceptions of what they think Indigenous people are about in North America,” said DeMontigny.
