Presenting progressive, distinct and exceptional fashion, textiles and craft by Indigenous artists at the intersection of art, fashion and culture.
The biennial Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival is almost here! June 9 – 12, 2022 at Harbourfront Centre in downtown Toronto. Featuring runway shows, a marketplace with over 60 designers, panels, workshops and exclusive online content.

As an added bonus to our on-line viewers, an IFAF Video Collection will accompany the runway shows with a program featuring short videos shot and directed by each runway designer at their homes and studios on the land with iPhone 13 Pro. IFA will broadcast each video exclusively online before each runway on IFA social media and website. The videos are edited and produced by the IFA team, under the consultation of director Shane Belcourt (Métis), with a music score by composer and musician Cris Derksen (Cree).

Indigenous Fashion Arts sustains Indigenous practices in fashion, craft and textiles through designer-focused initiatives, public engagement and sector innovation.
IFA’s primary activity is the biennial Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival. Our programming and initiatives illuminate perceptions of and celebrate Indigenous people and our cultures.
We are committed to nurturing the deep connections between mainstream fashion, Indigenous art and traditional practice with amplified visibility of and led by Indigenous women and non-binary people.
