“It’s a radical act of solidarity in itself to take care of the Earth that we are all living on. We can’t be here without the nurturing that we get from the Earth.” ~Korina Emmerich
Indigenous cultures have contributed to some of the most exquisite and incredible fashion designs that people wear today, and it’s no surprise that Indigenous fashion designers are thinking about their impact and how it affects climate change.
Our latest Spotlight comes from the amazing team behind The Solidarity Index, and they’re sharing their conversation with Indigenous fashion designer and community builder Korina Emmerich (Puyallup). Most notably her work has been featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the pages of Vogue and Elle, and been worn by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland and actor Devery Jacobs (Reservation Dogs). Korina is the founder of the slow fashion brand EMME Studio, and co-founder of Relative Arts, a community space that celebrating sustainable and subversive art and fashion in New York. Emmerich speaks with The Solidarity Index host Zahyr Lauren, aka The Artist L. Haz, about solidarity and sustainability.
Special thanks to Stina Hamlin for your beautiful work and your generous introduction to The Solidarity Index team. And big hugs to everyone behind The Solidarity Index: Zahyr Lauren aka The Artist L. Haz, Jen Bell, Shalva Wise, and Stina Hamlin.
