May 09' Pasifika Women of the Day: The MENA Women!



MENA



These four sisters have brought forth the cultural fashions of the South Pacific and have taken it to another level. MENA Fashion was started in Samoa in 2002 by the influence of their mother, Mena Loheni. As young teenagers they were taught by their mother to sew and design their own clothes thus creating the ever growing force of MENA! Since its launch in 2002, MENA has been flourishing across the South Pacific from Hawaii, Cook Island to Samoa and New Zealand in bringing their fresh new flavors of Pasifika fashion. The designs are as fresh and unique and the colors bring forth the life and art of the South Pacific. The dresses speak for themselves of the hard work and dedication these sisters put in representing Pasifika culture and its creative and unique designs.

I am proud to honor these women this week for all that they've done in representing young Polynesian women everywhere and the creative talents they bring in putting the South Pacific on the map for fashion and style!

Malo Aupito!
