NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY FRIDAY, JUNE 21 | 5
Winnipeg-based Métis designer Andréanne Dandeneau creates eco-friendly clothing and Indigenous-inspired prints through her company, Voilà Designs.
are currently five patterns in the Indigo Arrows collection that are all named in Anishinaabemowin: Bezhig (One), Niish (Two), Niswi (Three), Niiwin (Four) and Ishkoday (Flint Rock). “My new fall collection will be released Sept. 4 using patterns Bezhig and Niswi that will be printed on three new linen fabric colours,” Seymour said. “My goal is to also create a line of fabrics that interior designers and architects can source for their projects.” Through her designs, Seymour endeavours to revive Anishinaabe and Cree pottery and bone tool patterns to create textiles that showcase designs from this territory. “There is a rich history of Indigenous design within Manitoba that has existed for thousands of years,” she said. “I wanted to see them in my home, including interior design projects I was working on. Our patterns and designs can and do exist outside museums.” To separate her interior design projects from her textile design company, Seymour started another business called Woven Collective in collaboration with Mamie Griffith. This Indigenous-led design studio takes a critical look at the representation of Indigenous cultures within spaces. “Our design mission is to respectfully reflect local Indigenous cultures and identity with architectural forms, interior spaces and furniture,” she said. “Our design process acknowledges community engagement, inclusiveness and collaboration when creating new works.”
