Sustainable Fashion With A Purpose by Haus of Koila

Haus of Koila ended the 2020 fashion season in high style, short of a roaring standing ovation.

Owner and designer, Adi Koila Ganilau, paid tribute to her late mother, Adi Ateca Mara, who she said was her number one supporter from the get-go.

The Sustainable Fashion With A Purpose show was held at the Novotel Suva Lami Bay where it drew a sellout.

Adi Koila said: “An overwhelming joy that at the end of the day that my art is being appreciated – especially during a challenging time as this.

“It’s not every day you get to host a stand-alone fashion show.

“I’m deeply honored by the support of the many people from all walks of life who turned up, as well as the sponsors.”
