Loving these looks from the 2016 Valentino resort collection, featuring a collaboration with Métis artist Christi Belcourt! 

Ron Noganosh is an Ojibwe artist, born and raised on  reserves  near Parry Sound, Ontario. his work mixes sly, irreverent humour with a deep concern for the complex problems shared by many communities around the world.  He addresses many of these issues – environment, poverty, culture, language and identity - in the  context  of present-day  First Nations  communities. He creates sculptures using  found  objects, contemporary garbage comments on ecology and hierarchy. He says “If it is natural, it feels good” “it’s like the thing is still living the sculpture gives it another life and I use it in a way that’s respectful. In a sense, that helps me spiritually.”

Another beautiful basket hat. This is a Haida one, made in the 19th century by native artisan Isabella Edenshaw. The four branches star on the top of it looks very modern, almost displaced. But it gives a very nice general look to my opinion.
