Neechi by Nature


ABOUT THE DESIGNER


Shane Kejick, the visionary behind Neechi By Nature, and Stephanie Peltier of Deliaestelle Designs collaborate to bring Indigenous storytelling to life through a groundbreaking fusion of streetwear and traditional beadwork. Shane’s designs, rooted in Ojibway teachings and inspired by street culture and high fashion, celebrate resilience, identity, and cultural reclamation. Established in 2020, Neechi By Nature challenges stereotypes while creating bold, culturally significant luxury streetwear. Stephanie, a gifted artist from Wiikwemkoong First Nation, brings her love of Indigenous beadwork into the spotlight with Delia Estelle Designs. Her intricate work features porcupine quills, deer antler shards, and caribou tufting, blending traditional and contemporary techniques. Together, their collaboration represents a powerful union of modern streetwear and timeless craftsmanship, pushing boundaries in Indigenous design while honoring their shared vision of storytelling, cultural pride, and innovation.

Dying to Live: Thunderbird and Spirits II

Dying to Live: Thunderbirds & Spirits II is a bold exploration of Indigenous identity through the lens of urban experience and organized crime. Inspired by 90s Dolce & Gabbana mobster aesthetics fused with Indigenous craftsmanship, this collection tells the story of a young man navigating the illusions of power, brotherhood, and survival. Rooted in the Medicine Wheel’s four stages—Yellow, Red, Black, and White—the designs evolve from youthful ambition to raw reckoning, with tailored suits, silk shirts, leather, and tactical details. Featuring beadwork accessories in collaboration with Delia Estelle Designs, this collection embodies the duality of tradition and indulgence, reflecting life’s defining choices.
