It was in May, 2025, earlier this year when we wanted to do something different with the usual Bilum Wear on the Runway. Working on ideas and exploring what the possibilities are. So we gathered a couple of women from Finschafen through Amuni Foundation and started working on Cowries.
The women from Finschafen traveled from Finschafen into Lae and up to Goroka, spent a week with me and we started creating different outfits to see what will work out.
In September, during the 16th Moni Plus Goroka Bilum Festival, we officially launched the outfits.
November, got us here in Sydney for the Fiji Fashion Week. Thankyou Amuni Foundation, this is where your cowrie sits on the International Runway.
