RISING by Maynard Johnny Jr.

RISING is a celebration of Indigenous women—their strength, beauty, wisdom, and enduring power. Inspired by the matriarchs who have carried culture, community, and future generations forward, this collection honours the sacred feminine energy that continues to rise across our Nations and communities. The name Rising represents movement, growth, resilience, and the powerful emergence of Indigenous women in every space they enter—as leaders, mothers, artists, entrepreneurs, knowledge keepers, and changemakers.

For the first time, the vibrant artwork of Maynard Johnny Jr. moves beyond the canvas and into flowing motion. Each piece transforms his bold Salish designs into wearable art, brought to life through soft, elegant fabrics that move with grace and purpose. The collection reflects the strength of the ancestors, synergy and healing - always evolving, always rising.

Designed with versatility and beauty in mind, the RISING collection is made to accompany women throughout every part of their day. From work to play, from everyday moments to evening celebrations, these garments are created to make women feel powerful, comfortable, and connected to culture wherever they go.

RISING is more than a fashion collection. It is a tribute to Indigenous women past, present, and future. It is a celebration of matriarchs in motion. A reminder that when Indigenous women rise, communities rise with them.

RISING — honouring the strength, spirit, and beauty of Indigenous women and all women.
