Indigenous fashion is increasingly visible across dedicated runway shows, major cultural markets and Indigenous business events. This guide brings together Powwow Times coverage of Indigenous fashion events across Canada and North America, with links to event-specific guides, designer profiles and production resources.

Why These Events Matter
Indigenous runway shows and marketplaces can create more than visibility. They connect designers and makers directly with audiences, buyers, collaborators and media while giving communities greater control over how culture, identity and design are presented.
That direct-to-audience connection is especially important in fashion, where Indigenous aesthetics have often been separated from the people and communities they come from. Indigenous-led events create space for designers to tell the story of their work in context.
