Our new GGCanada sends a great message on this historical day.
In such a time of grief and sadness, a very welcome bright light has been the inauguration ofas Canada’s first Indigenous Governor General. As the Queen’s newest representative — and technically Canada’s head of state — Simon addressed the senate on July 26th with a powerful speech encouraging Canadians to keep looking for the unmarked graves and confront their past head-on.
The entire design process was a collaborative effort between Okpik and Simon as the new Governor General was passionate about wearing an ode to her Indigenous heritage on her big day.“I first started sending her some sketches she might be interested in, and then we narrowed it down to a dress and a jacket,” says Okpik. The jacket was especially significant as an Indigenous silhouette inspired it.
However, with less than a month to design, create and embellish the outfit, it truly was a race against the clock.Grenier adds that she spent the week leading up to Simon’s inauguration beading until three in the morning. “It was about 50 hours of work. I gave my final design to Victoria last Sunday night. And then, first thing, Monday morning, I started beading. It was pretty intense — I finally slept for the first time all week yesterday, which was nice.
