KAPA
TO HONOUR OUR COLLECTIVE STRENGTH.
The power that multiplies when we meet to present a united front. Inspired by what we wear when we perform and represent, these garments take from everything; from sports uniforms to traditional dance costume.
This collection is a wearable embodiment of Kapa; the Maori term for gathering as a group.
Using geometric patterns, athleisure fabrics, uniform detailing, and ten distinctive Tāniko colourways, the Kapa collection creates sartorial teams.
The garments reach from gender-neutral everyday wear that gives space for full-bodied motion, to formal gowns with fringing designed to amplify your movement.
These pieces emphasise your individual power while connecting you to a lineage and community of others.
IN HONOUR OF OUR SOLIDARITY.
The joy and strength that is found when we gather together. The collection invokes the boldness and bravery we access when we act as one.
IN HONOUR OF OUR POTENTIAL.
The commitment we find when we represent our people with pride. Kapa invites you to tap into your full potential, not for the sake of yourself, but for the sake of the group.
IN HONOUR OF OUR UNIQUE COMMUNITIES.
The languages, customs, experiences and strengths of our unique communities. These garments celebrate our colourful groups, claiming them as part of our individual expression.
