It's time for fire on the runway.
Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week 2024 is taking place Nov. 20 to 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
VIFW is giving away two sets of two tickets to All My Relations Indigenous Couture Night on Nov. 21.
This is your chance to attend one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year and bear witness to the beauty, resilience and creativity of Indigenous designers from across Turtle Island.
VIFW is more than just a fashion show — it’s a transformative experience where fashion becomes a platform for storytelling, cultural sharing and inspiring the hearts and minds of its audience.
VIFW 2024 will include:
Nov. 20: Red Dress Night. We come together wearing red, in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit and LGBTQ members of our communities. As we remember our murdered and missing family and community members, we honour their beauty and strength and our collective resilience.
Nov. 21: All My Relations Couture Night. On our second evening, designers from across Turtle Island show up and show out! High fashion meets Indigenous couture, celebrating relationships, community and cultural resurgence in the magnificent designs of both up-and-comers and fan favourites.
Nov. 22: Indigenous Futures. Indigenous Futurism advocates for Indigenous sovereignty. At the intersection of Indigenous artistic practice, contemporary storytelling and pop culture we shape a future of our own that centres Indigenous ways of being and knowing, and Indigenous joy! Dive into the world of Indigenous streetwear, sportswear and futuristic fashion, showcasing innovation and creativity.
Nov 23: Spirit of the West Coast. Join us for VIFW’s final night, where we celebrate designs with a signature West Coast spirit. There is something special about this land and its people. If we let it lead us, if we allow our joy to be seen and celebrated here, there's nothing we can't do. Be filled with the spirit of the West Coast as you celebrate some of the uniqueness of this land through these incredible designs.
This is your chance to attend one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year and bear witness to the beauty, resilience and creativity of Indigenous designers from across Turtle Island.
VIFW is not just about fashion; it’s about empowerment, reconcili-action and reimagining what’s possible in the world of fashion and culture. Join us in mobilizing community through fashion that honours the past, celebrates the present and paves the way for the future.
