Don't miss the Fashion, Food & Culture Showcase!
The Native Hawaiian Convention proudly presents an exclusive Fashion, Food, and Culture Showcase, a spectacular evening that brings together the best of Hawaiʻi Island’s creative talents. On this special night, you’ll experience a dazzling fusion of fashion, culinary arts, and music, featuring some of Hawai‘i’s top designers, chefs, and musicians.
This one-of-a-kind event highlights iconic fashion brands Manaola, Sig Zane, and Kaulua’e, each paired with a master chef—Chef Jayson Kanekoa, Chef Brian Hirata, and Chef Peter Abarcar Jr.—to create dishes inspired by their unique designs. You won’t just watch an exclusive fashion show; you’ll taste it, as these culinary creations bring the essence of each brand to life.
Pairings:
- Manaola paired with Chef Musashi Young
- Kaulua’e paired with Chef Jayson Kanekoa
- Sig Zane paired with Chef Brian Hirata
And if that’s not enough, the evening culminates with a stellar performance by Seven Suns, an all-Native group rising as one of Hawaiʻi’s brightest musical stars. Seven Suns is a collective of seven extraordinary artists, producers, and musicians, each bringing their unique energy to create a vibrant sound that resonates with the spirit of Oceania.
