Trippy Hippy is a brand that aims to inspire and add a splash of colour and quirkiness to the world. Victoria Patterson; president and founder, left her home in Canada to explore the world, Trippy Hippy is the outcome of seeing and experiencing life in her way. With a love of music, culture and self-expression. Her designs express the life of youth and culture, brought from years of finding ones-self. Taking the leap to try new things, and pushing yourself to find what makes you you, is the heart behind this newly established brand. Trippy Hippy is for everyone, clothing is a form of self-expression and is created for those looking for something different.

Growing up I struggled with identity - growing up in a world failed by our educational system, capitalist greed dominating values, massive ignorance, and bloodline traumas I was only beginning to acknowledge. I was lost, lacking love of self.

I was always different but I tried to belong.

I never would.

Now, I never want to.

“Chiefin” an upcycled indigenous T transformed into my first ever custom jean jacket, and along with my oldest child the Jean jacket crew was established.

As I grew, I read and read indigenous literature and all forms of storytelling I could find to learn the complex indigenous history of these lands and began moving closer to self-love, self-awareness and a sense of pride in my identity. This love of self and a love for fashion began to grow together. As Nehiyaw [cree] people we have always represented ourselves uniquely in our dress; if you study the archives you can see how stunning indigenous fashion truly is. Clothing is always an extension of who you are, and the story you are telling.

With mobilize I hope to be able to create street style which brings representation for indigenous peoples, empowers, educate, elevates, and helps others find identity.

Crash the system.

For the people.

For the culture.
