The MAMo event was launched in Honolulu in 2006. A component of the Maoli Arts Movement, the Wearable Art Show celebrates Hawaiian design in fabric and clothing specifically in terms of cultural motif—definitely NOT a typical fashion show! Many traditional Hawaiian patterns and designs (as those in kapa and weaving, weaponry and tools, tattoo and adornment) take their visual clues from nature.
This fashion event grows in popularity each year. Don’t miss this unique experience!
This year’s designers include Wahine Toa Designs, Micah Kamohoali'i, Ari South, Kahulale'a (KÄ“haulani Nielson), PÅMahina Designs (Kanoelani Davis), Maile Andrade/Kawika Lum/Marques Marzan, Anna Kahalekulu (KÅ«lua Designs), Missing Polynesia, and more!
