About the Collection

Nocturnal Rose is a couture collection that blends romance, purity, and dark mystery through sculpted floral motifs, tailored silhouettes, and a palette of white, blush, and black.

Velvet and liquid satin create a cinematic sense of glow, while the garments trace and honour the natural contours of the body with elegance and precision.

About the Designer

WABANOONKWE is an Indigenous woman-owned fashion house led by Anishinaabe designer Wabanoonkwe. Her work combines couture technique with contemporary silhouette, using fashion as a vehicle for Indigenous storytelling. Across her practice, she champions visibility, femininity, and inclusion while bringing a distinct sense of narrative and emotional depth to the runway.
