Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou,
The human purpose in life is to nurture and educate others.
The NANA Spring 2019 collection is inspired by the exploration of the Minahasan culture, which features their Kabasaran war dance, textile prints and motifs of their ancient beliefs. The Minahasa tribe is one of the many ethnic groups of Indonesia that still exists today and as a multi-racial designer with some of its roots, I want to inspire pride in one’s identity as well as cultivating diversity and cultural appreciation in modern fashion. The driving concept of this collection is about bridging all forms of diversity through exploration of the unconventional and experimenting with mixed-media.
