Evan Ducharme provides a wardrobe of separates, outerwear, and eveningwear
for the customer who demands authenticity in every aspect of their life.
With the look of “heightened utilitarianism” that has become Ducharme’s signature,
Metis iconography is woven throughout to create an image of contemporary Indigenous fashion.
