Martha Kyak’s InukChic fashion is unapologetically Inuit, glamorous and political – Canada’s National Observer
August 25th 2022
Martha Kyak has seen her fashion designs in many places, but one of the most powerful was on stage next to the prime minister.
In 2019, when Justin Trudeau was presented with the final report for the Murdered and Missing Women and Girls (MMIWG) National Inquiry, a red amauti was displayed on a stand beside him.
Kyak made the amauti, or traditional Inuit women’s parka, to honour her sister who was murdered. It was a highly emotional moment for Kyak, the designer behind InukChic, a fashion company whose name is a play on Inukshuk.
