From New York to Paris Fashion Week 2024

Melissa's stunning Paris Fashion Collection was inspired by the Indigenous Jewelry & Art Collection she showcased at her first Fashion Week in New York for Runway7. With her first runway showcase under her belt, focused on creating statement pieces that honours her traditional Indigenous clothing by incorporating her designs with ribbon and reclaimed cedar.

Melissa designed each collection with intention and purpose to create conversation and awareness of the Reconciliation and to honor the Indigenous People. While using traditional beadwork and cedar for her jewelry, along with simple yet stunning ribbon dresses, Melissa's creativity, skills, and talent as a Fashion Artisan is just starting to emerge into the fashion world.
