This collection, Fiji’s Pacific Fusion, by Hupfeld Evers Hoerder is an integration of our unique Pacific culture in Fiji. This line also showcases the plus-size category that is dedicated to the beautiful men and women of the Pacific. It is decorated, accessorised and hand-painted with the vibrant colours of the Pacific’s flora and fauna, deep blue sea to turquoise lagoons and the lush green vegetation of the coconut palms to celebrate ‘Pacific fusion’. In conjunction with the theme, Fiji’s Pacific Fusion, the collection is inspired by Hupfeld Evers Hoerder’s research project in sustainable fashion and Indigenous fashion, i.e., to produce garments that have a low impact on the environment and to promote the preservation and conservation of culture and heritage in the Pacific. Hupfeld Evers Hoerder is from the beautiful Fiji Islands. He is Rotuman-German origin and raised in Fiji. He has worked in the fashion industry in Fiji for over 30 years. He began designing while pursuing his undergraduate studies at university, making simple shift dresses to casual resort wear. Slowly the demand grew for more formal gowns and bridal wear. Hupfeld Hoerder designs promotes a strong sense of Pacific culture to resemble who he is and this is to promote conserving one’s identity and heritage that is so important to those in Fiji and the Pacific.
