Get Repost App • V I V A Every fashion week show has its best dressed, but none quite like Kāhui Collective. Heru, pōtae, taonga, kete, paraikete – and that was just the front row.
It was a full house for the showcase of 15 Indigenous designers from Aotearoa and the Pacific, and deservedly so. More than a runway, Kāhui Collective is a movement.
As the lights went down, sounds of taonga puoro echoed across Shed 10 before an emotive video set the tone for the storytelling to come. The theme: Te Taiao. A celebration of our relationships to the natural world through Indigenous design.
As each label presented their collection, the designers transported us to their homes and their cultures – a deep reverence for whakapapa, across borders.
