OUR STORY
OUR STORY
Lindsay King is of Saulteaux, Ojibway, and Mohawk heritage and a registered member of her father’s Treaty 5 First Nation, Little Grand Rapids, Manitoba. Born in Winnipeg, she is a Mother, Grandmother, Social Worker, and Fashion Designer.
Her childhood was spent between her parents’ First Nations of Little Grand Rapids in Manitoba and Mississaugas of the Credit in Ontario. She also spent time growing up in Texas and Nevada with her mother and siblings.
From an early age, Lindsay’s dream was to own a store and sell clothing. She recalls being naturally drawn to fabric and design, but the lack of Indigenous representation in the fashion industry led her to doubt the possibility of realizing that dream. Instead, Lindsay became a Social Worker and foster parent, dedicating 20 years to serving Indigenous children, families, and communities. Despite the fulfillment she found in this work, her passion for fashion remained unwavering.
In 2014, Lindsay took a bold step toward her dream, enrolling in fashion studies in both Toronto, Canada, and Florence, Italy. With no prior experience in sewing or design, she embraced her new path, bringing to life the garments she had once only imagined. Along the way, she found mentors and artisans who helped to bring her brand to life.
Since its debut in 2022, the Lindsay King brand has become known for its timeless, luxury outerwear and fashion collections. Each garment is carefully handcrafted in Toronto by skilled artisans, designed with care and intention to celebrate individuality, transcend trends, and inspire others to pursue their own dreams.
Lindsay’s artistry and impact have been recognized across Canada. She was the recipient of the 2024 Myles Sexton x Fashion Arts Toronto Breakout Talent Award and winner of PARO Canada’s Indigenous Women in Business Award. Her Red Collection, designed in honour of and to bring awareness to Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP), was showcased at Fashion Arts Toronto and Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week. She has also appeared live on Breakfast Television as part of Lincoln’s Skipped Exits campaign, which highlighted inspiring Canadians. Her work and story have been featured in leading publications including Elle Magazine, Fashion Magazine, Native Max Magazine, BlogTO, Toronto Star, Windspeaker News, and more.
