Miss Pacific Islands traditional attire by Ash Phaneuf and Jane ✨

This isn’t my work, but I just had to share my admiration for it. The attention to detail, the way every shell was thoughtfully placed is incredible. You are such an inspiration, and I’m so grateful to have been able to contribute my little bit to its creation.

Dear Miss Fiji,

In a time when the odds seemed stacked against her, when voices were loud and criticism was heavy, you chose courage. You chose to stand tall. You chose to represent our island nation with dignity and pride.

Miss Fiji, Miss Ailava Samuels, your journey is a powerful reminder that true queens are not made by applause alone, but by perseverance, faith, and unshakable strength. Through scrutiny and setbacks, you never wavered. You kept pushing. You kept shining. And you carried Fiji in your heart every step of the way.

So proud of the woman you are and the example you’ve set for so many.

Honoured to have tailored this special piece for you, lovingly embellished by your mom Su Samuels and the amazing Ash Phaneuf, a reflection of your resilience and beauty

You stood strong. You stood proud. You stood for Fiji. 🇫🇯

A moment for the dress 🤏🏽✨

First Runner-Up, yet forever a winner in my heart ✨
Miss Nasinu I am so deeply proud of you. The countless hours, the sacrifices, the quiet strength, and the unwavering commitment you poured into the Miss Fiji Pageant did not go unnoticed. To witness your growth, grace, and resilience throughout this journey has been truly moving. I’m beyond grateful to have walked even a small part of this path with you.

Thank you, for the trusting me in making her wardrobe this week. Despite the sleepless nights, back pains and headaches I truly enjoyed the experience. This journey will always hold a special place in my heart. Vinaka vakalevu Samuel’s Family ❤️ 2 man team tuga ✨

From the layered Masi of our land to the shell-studded Moana dress of our ocean, Miss Nasinu transforms before us.
Her Spirit Wings rise, woven from Masi, Vau and Pacific shells, a noble daughter of Fiji, carrying the mana of her people into the future.

A heartfelt vinaka vakalevu to my friend Su Samuels and the incredible team behind Lavalani for collaborating with me to bring this beautiful vision to life.

Happy Pride Everyone 🏳️‍🌈

Last Friday, I was honoured to receive the Emerging Designer of the Year award. It still feels surreal. What began as quiet moments behind a sewing machine has grown into something I’m deeply proud of.

A big Vinakavakalevu to everyone who’s supported this journey from family and friends to mentors to those who simply believed. This recognition means a lot. For me, for K**a, for Unwritten, and for what’s still to come.
