Step into the vibrant world of Indigenous fashion at Casa, in partnership with the Honouring Traditions Reconciliation Society. This special evening celebrates Indigenous creativity and culture through contemporary fashion, bringing together traditional craftsmanship, modern design and the evolving art of wearable expression.
The show will feature collections by four Indigenous artists, worn by Indigenous models. Among the featured designers are Conroy Obey and his daughter, Nayana, who will come together to co-design a collection for the show. Their collaboration offers a beautiful glimpse into the way culture, creativity and knowledge can be shared across generations. This father-daughter duo celebrate the connections between West African and Indigenous communities inspiring their Afro-Indigenous designs.
The 2025 Honouring Traditions Princess will be back to open the show with dancing. The evening will also feature presentations by contenders for the 2026 Honouring Traditions Princess Pageant. Between designers, these young Indigenous leaders will share their stories and aspirations and dance, grounding the evening in culture and ceremony.
The fashion show is part of a special weekend of programming with Honouring Traditions. Just days later, their annual Powwow will bring the community together, where the Princess Pageant winners will be crowned. We encourage fashion show attendees to join the celebration and experience more of the rich Indigenous culture and traditions being shared throughout the weekend.
Come experience an evening of fashion, artistry, storytelling and culture—and celebrate the creativity of Indigenous artists, designers, models and young leaders in our community.
