About Nicole Camphaug
Nicole Camphaug was a fashion designer.
Nicole Camphaug is a Canadian Inuk fashion and jewellery designer from Nunavut. She is primarily known for creating sealskin-covered shoes and other contemporary Inuit fashion items under the label ENB Artisan, which she runs with her husband. Camphaug uses commercially purchased shoes and covers them with sealskin and ornaments made from traditional animal materials like caribou, muskox, and narwhal. The pelts are sourced from Labrador. She also makes jewellery from bone, tusk, and similar materials. In 2015, she created her first pair of shoes by attaching scrap sealskin to a pair of her old boots.
A pair of Camphaug's heels are held in the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. In 2019, Camphaug provided accessories for outfits at the Upingaksaaq Fashion Show in Iqaluit, which featured Inuit designers. ENB Artisan was short-listed for the grand prize of the 2021 Pow Wow Pitch, a competition for Indigenous Canadian entrepreneurs.
