The Lady 2022 --- Jennine Krauchi – Métis based in Winnipeg
This contemporary coat, with matching hat, muff and boots, was inspired by traditional Metis clothing and Farandole, the artist’s 2011 international collaboration and touring exhibition with Breton designer and embroidery artist Pascal Jaouen. Here, Krauchi’s exquisite Metis florals and skillful construction transform the classic man’s capote and jaunty smoking hat into a fashionable woman’s wear. The muff is based on the tabbed fire bag, which once carried essentials for survival. Our elegant lady is prepared for a harsh winter.
