“It was a meaningful moment that extended beyond just earning a splashy celebrity placement: Williams chose to wear Louis’s sweater on Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Day, which honors the history of Indigenous children who were forcibly taken from their homes and forced into Canada’s residential school system, a movement that lasted until 1996.”

“I was told that Hudson wanted to support an Indigenous designer for [Canada’s] Truth and Reconciliation Day. He was very intentional about wanting to wear something by an Indigenous designer, and he must have been doing some research and came across my stuff. He found that cardigan, fell in love with it, and wanted to wear it for the red carpet in New York. (…) Then someone from his team drove all the way from Vancouver up to my house to pick it up on Sunday.”

“He could have gotten something from anybody, but he specifically made a point to find somebody who’s Indigenous. And he actually purchased it—he didn't ask for anything free. He actually messaged me directly last night thanking me for making it happen.”

Also, looks so good to see “Connor Storrie is an Emmy-nominated actor”. 👏🏼
