REDValentino captured the spirit of adventure and fostered creativity by teaming up with three Hawaiian designers Kehaulani Nielson of Kahulaleʻa, Carrington Manaola Yap of MANAOLA Hawaii and Kini Zamora for a limited edition capsule collection dedicated to the 2021 edition of London’s Chelsea in Bloom. As main source of inspiration, the designers declinated the myth of Pele, the creation Goddess of fire and volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands.
Chelsea in Bloom
I couldn’t be more proud to be part of the 2021 edition of the Chelsea in Bloom with Red Valentino and Manaola Hawaiʻi. Being able to participate in such an amazing project to highlight native Hawaiian fashion is something I never could have dreamed for myself, and nonetheless, extremely humbled and blessed to have done. It is incredibly special to be a part of such a special moment for not only Manaola Hawaiʻi, but for every Hawaiian who has felt the neglect of our beautiful culture in fashion. A huge hoʻomaikaʻi (congratulations) to Kehau Nielson and Kini Zamora as well – feeling so lucky to be standing even a quarter of a step on this stage with these talented designers.
