Here it go's!
I have decided to show my collection at Style Fashion Week in October 2015!
I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
FIRST NATIONS FASHION DESIGNER: JILL SETAH
First of all I would like to mention that I am not Westbank First Nations however I reside in their beautiful reserve. My family and I worked hard to obtain a Habitat for Humanity House on Westbank First Nations property. I do not receive and support from Westbank First Nations for this kind of event.
I am from the Yunesit'in Government (formerly Stone Indian Band) and it is located 114 km West of Williams Lake, turning south from highway 20 at Hanceville and continuing for another 10 km over the Tsilhqot'in River.
As a Frist Nations Designer from the Yunesit’in Government and a mother of four trying to make my dream come true is very hard, but I am determined to make my way through hard work and determination. I want to teach me kids that you have to work your butt off to get to where you want to be, nothing is handed to you. So begins my struggle to Style Fashion Week 2015!
My goal as a First Nations Fashion Designer is to become of the world's top First Nations Fashion Designer's, and make it to Paris Fashion Week!!!
CENTER FOR ARTS & TECHNOLOGY KELOWNA CAMPUS: FASHION DESIGN & MERCHANDISING DIPLOMA.
The Fashion Design & Merchandising was a 24month program however I was unable to complete the program in the 24 months. I ended up having to take an extra 6 months but none the less was able to stand on the podium with my fellow student and graduated with them.

I plan on holding Loonie auctions, Indian Taco Lunches, and any other means of fundraising.

However money donation is the most IMPORTANT!!!
