Mariouche Gagné

Mariouche Gagné was born in the First Nations village of Loretteville in 1971. Mariouche Gagné, the first eco-friendly fashion designer, developed her concept of recycled fur while participating in a contest in Milan. She decided to create her garment using her mother’s old fur coat. This technique was the creative force behind Harricana, a brand of ready-to-wear fashions and accessories produced from recycled materials and established in 1994.
