The Indigenous Fashion Arts (IFA) Festival is a yearly celebration of Indigenous arts and culture. It will be held from May 30 to June 2, 2024, at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre. NWT Arts will feature five artists from the Northwest Territories at the IFA marketplace.
Artist Mishelle Lavoie will present her brand, Capital M Beading. This marks her second participation at the IFA marketplace, and attendees will have the opportunity to engage with her one-of-a-kind creations.
The 2024 IFA Festival is set to showcase over 100 artists, designers, creators, and brands from Canada and around the globe. The four-day event will feature runway shows, a red carpet event, an outdoor marketplace, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops on traditional crafts.
Since 2019, Lavoie has poured her heart into creating over 200 beaded works, each one a testament to her boundless creativity. Her 2024 collection, while not adhering to a particular theme, is a unique reflection of the colours and patterns that mirror her personality and emotions at the time.
For those eager to own a piece of Lavoie’s art, her creations are just a message away on her Instagram and Facebook pages.
