Nlaka'pamux / Canada

Warren Steven Scott

Discipline:

Craft / Fashion

Starting out in the Canadian fashion industry working for designers Comrags and Jeremy Laing in 2014, Warren Steven Scott launched his namesake label in 2018 at the inaugural IFWTO. Scott’s work bridges the Western concept of luxury fashion with his ancestral worldview on ethics, craft and aesthetic sensibility. Working within this duality of tradition and modernity, Scott has quickly become know for his acrylic jewellery that incorporates elements of his Nlaka’pamux heritage into its design — through shapes such as ovoids, crescents and other Coast Salish forms. Scott’s work has been profiled by VOGUE.com, Fashion Magazine, and CBC The National, and garnered a nomination for the Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent (Accessories) at the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards in 2019. Scott works and lives in Toronto, Canada
