How can contemporary Māori art be translated through fashion design, inspiring the regeneration of Mātauranga Māori?

Looking to Parihaka, this collection acknowledges its history and establishes kōrero around identity and what it means to be Māori. Utilising key attributes found in contemporary Māori art, I am able to share my own story, finding myself where I am today.
