250 Years of Hawaiian Fashion History

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fashion is the medium for transcending time and sharing with you the past 250 years of

Hawaiian history featuring original designs by Allen Akina. It is a history lesson and fashion

show all in one with music and hula vignettes to showcase the warmth, beauty and unique

lifestyle and culture of the Hawaiian Islands.

 

The show begins with ancient attire prior to Western influence, replicas of the gowns worn

by Hawaiian Monarchs, the fashion of the Missionary era and continues on with designs

influenced by first generation migrant workers from China, Japan, the Phillipines and Korea.

The heydays of the 40's with cello skirts and sarongs brings us to the modern era of

Hawaiian fashion. Many of our Miss Hawaii titleholders, current and former, will be modeling

for you and entertain you wit hula and song.

 

Besides being entertained, all will gain a whole new perspective of why Hawaii is such a

special place and known as the melting pot of the Pacific.
