HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Kapa artist, kumu hula and designer Micah Kamohoalii of Waimea comes from a family of kapa makers.
His clothing company, Dezigns by Kamohoalii, launched in 2005 with his traditional kapa designs on modern fabric. His brand is popular among the crowds particularly at the Merrie Monarch Festival along with various pop-up shops.
But on Sept. 9, his designs will launch to a new platform as he prepares to share the stage with international names at New York Fashion Week. He’s said to be the first Hawaii designer on Runway 7 in Sony Hall in Times Square.
