True South

TRUE SOUTH

TRUE SOUTH is a jewel in the crown of the Pacific Arts Summit! Responding to a glaring gap in the fashion market, TRUE SOUTH showcases a hand-picked selection of local designers who honour and celebrate the plus size, the Amazonian, the big and the tall – the women of Poly-Fabulous proportions!

Where big is the norm and street style is as much influenced by mass media as it is by [multi] cultural identity, South Auckland is the perfect space for a night of fierce fashion to seriously shake-up notions of Nesian body politics!

The TRUE SOUTH designers are:

  • Lissy Cole (I Love Lissy)

Also performing are:
