This was/still is the backdrop in the photography studio that was setup during the opening of Senorita AweSUMO's Atelier Heart Warming. Thanx to Aroha Novak for her help w painting the mural!!!

We also had Sylvie Chasteau from Ali McD Agency dressed in Te Warewhare Whakapau to give the installation some reality!!!! She was amazing and fitted perfectly with this setting, as a doll should in some kind of ridiculous way!!!

A call for more transparency in the fashion system. A call for a community of people who work towards a more sustainable future. More innovation in industry will create a sustained life for more people, more jobs spreads more self worth, a more capable community can grow stronger and provide necessary skills for an amazing future.
