Avarua top & neoprene trouser
Emerging designer, 15-year-old Natasha Clare Senior, drew on her rich multicultural heritage (Russian, English, Scottish and Mongolian) and time spent in Rarotonga for the inspiration behind this sophisticated look. "My holidays in Rarotonga inspired this piece, and its importance to land and sea. We need to protect our nature’s treasures and make sure further generations can enjoy its beauty. This piece really represents me as a designer as it has a deeper meaning that evokes more than just fabric."
