Whēki Drawstring Dress - Blush

Whēki Print
Inspired by our recent trip to Rarotonga I looked at our ancestors' journey through the islands to Aotearoa. Created through the lens of ‘popular culture’ - this collection features figures in a waka looking out to the land, inspired by ‘Māoriland romanticism’ prevalent in the 1890s. I also incorporated printed imagery of the whēki + taniko, which is my nostalgic take on the ‘Island shirt’ that was popular in Hawaii in the 1930s. I designed this collection in reference to ‘cultural terms’ and inspiration made from Māori belongs to Māori. Embrace effortless style with pieces that share a cultural connection.
