Reggie Harrold is a contemporary Indigenous artist and fashion designer from Fort Nelson First Nation (Dene, Slavey) with family ties to the Canim Lake area (Secwépemc/Shuswap), based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Working across textiles, wearable art, beadwork, knitting, hand sewing, and mixed-media sculpture, her practice explores themes of identity, cultural continuity, material experimentation, and Indigenous futurism.
Drawing from both ancestral knowledge and contemporary fashion methodologies, Harrold creates intricate garments and sculptural works that merge traditional Indigenous techniques with innovative approaches to making. She incorporates materials such as artificial sinew, yarn, beads, fabric, and recycled materials, using processes including spool knitting, beadwork, and hand fabrication to investigate relationships between memory, culture, and transformation.
Harrold holds a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from the University of British Columbia, a Diploma in Core Fashion Design from John Casablancas Institute, and is a graduate of the Ch’nook Indigenous Business Education program at the UBC Sauder School of Business. Through her interdisciplinary practice, she honours Indigenous knowledge systems while contributing to the evolving landscape of contemporary Indigenous art and fashion.
