Indigenous Fashionology (NATIVE CLOTHING) with Riley Kucheran
b'Fashion! Trends! Not really! This lively chat with Riley Kucheran, an Assistant Professor of Design Leadership at Ryerson University\\u2019s School of Fashion, covers everything from the history of industrialized clothing manufacture to current Indigenous designers he loves, political statements through beadwork, Indigenous art markets, and a dissection of Coachella headdresses. From Biigtigong Nishnaabeg Nation, Riley also describes his experiences climbing the corporate ladder in the fashion retail world vs. learning from elders and advising younger students during land-based education, while tanning hides in the bush. Also: uniforms, the good and the bad.\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Riley Kucheran at Twitter.com/RSKucheran or Instagram.com/RSKucheran\\xa0\\n\\nA donation went to Dechinta.ca\\xa0\\n\\nSponsors of Ologies: alieward.com/ologies-sponsors\\n\\nMore links and info at alieward.com/ologies/indigenousfashionology\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes and now\\u2026 MASKS.
