THUNDER BAY — A weekend fashion show put a dizzying mix of local clothing designers on display, celebrating the cultural diversity within Thunder Bay’s fashion scene.
The night also featured a number of music and dance performances from the likes of Dame Más Dance, Djembe Folklore, and a multicultural ballet that mixed dance traditions from across the world.Kathleen Sawdo, CEO and artist of Sister Bear Designs — an Indigenous clothing shop based out of Goods & Co. — called that both “a little scary” and “exciting.”
“Basically we started as kids, beading,” she said. “I have my older sister and younger sister … It kind of helps us reclaim our identity as Anishinaabe and embracing it. One of those is the connections fostered between business owners. Johnston was asked to participate in Bato’o by organizer Liliane Breiland of The African Boutique, who she called the “power and the brains” behind the event.
“We agreed with my siblings that if I design, they can sew, and that’s going to be the best way for me to be helping back home,” she said. “That was then, and today I have not only my sister and my niece, [but] more than 35 seamstresses in Cameroon.”
