SASKATOON Anishinaabe and Mohawk fashion designer Lesley Hampton is apologizing after a dress featured in 2019 that used imagery of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people recently sparked outrage online. She said she never intended the piece to be triggering but instead, give the missing and murdered a spotlight in a traditionally white-dominated world of fashion. A photo of the eponymous Indigenous-owned fashion brand’s red-spotted, cream-coloured dress was recently reposted by the Cree model who wore it two years ago for a photoshoot. Critics online said the dress was triggering because the red spots resembled blood.
