Ocean Kiana is an Nishinaabe woodland-style artist from North Western Ontario raised by the matriarchs of her family. She is based in Toronto, Canada, and has done work with the Toronto Raptors, OVO, and Manitobah Mukluk’s. She creates her own textiles using Anishinaabe patterns and designs. Her work is influenced by the land and water that her people have lived on for thousands of generations north of Lake Superior. Kiana hopes to use fashion and design to tell Indigenous stories.
Available now, the Love On The Brain collection was inspired by the deep shade of red used throughout the years in her work and in different mediums. Kiana thought hard about the people she loves and shows love every day and felt inspired to grow that feeling into a collection of deep reds, pinks, and contrasting black and white. The black and white pieces represent the designer’s appreciation for her loved ones who have passed on.
