NUNAVIK CREATIONS
NUNAVIK CREATIONS
Nunavik Creations had their busiest Christmas season since it
opened its doors in March 2002. The store remained opened until
December 23rd to give customers a chance for last minute shopping.
Sales were also higher than the previous seasons.
In December, Vickie Okpik was busy putting
on two fashion shows in Bordeaux and Paris,
France. Horizon Polaire, an organization based in
France, sponsored the show. The show in Bordeaux
was at the Casino Bordeaux. Two hundred people
paid to attend the event. The purpose of the
weeklong festival was to introduce Inuit culture
to France where there is quite a lot of interest
in the subject. Singer Edward Snowball opened
the fashion show with a 20-minute set and he
played a guitar and sang throughout the show.
The fashion show had traditional clothing as well as contemporary.
Clothing was modelled by modelling students from a fashion house
in Bordeaux. The same fashion house had a fashion show with their
interpretation of Inuit clothing just before Nunavik Creations went
on. There was a standing ovation at the end of our show and Vickie
and Edward were deluged with questions from the audience. There
were many requests for Nunavik Creations catalogues as well as
orders for our clothing. The show aired on French national television
along with interviews done prior to the show.
The fashion show in Paris was at the Museum of Man where
they have a large Inuit exposition. The Canadian Embassy sponsored
that portion of the trip. There were approximately 300 people
who attended both shows. There was quite a demand for Edward's
SAMMY KUDLUK
CD’s. Both Vickie and Edward spent 30 minutes responding to
questions from the crowd.
Fashion shows, such as the one in France, allow us to not
only market our products but also provide a glimpse of Nunavik's
Inuit culture.
