Hawai‘i Fashion Month is coming to a crescendo in Honolulu and this year on Kaua‘i, they’re wrapping up the month with a Kaua‘i designers’ runway show. HPR’sNoeTanigawa reports on a ground swell of fashion activity on the Garden Isle.
The Kaua'i Chamber of Commerce estimates about 20 designers participated in Kaua'i Fashion Month this year. The third annual Kaua‘i Fashion Week, a separate event from Fashion Month, was held this past April at the Kaua‘i Marriott. Gypsy Rain, Kaikini Bikini, and Louda Larrain were among the designers featured there.
Kaua‘i Fashion Month Facebook page
Chanterelle Chantara’s website features a range of styles from day wear and party to bridal, all designed and sewn on Kaua‘i.
For a look at some of the styles shown at the Art Walk at the Shops at Kukui‘ula earlier this month, check these photos by Keith Ketchum.
