The Garment, and other wears that won Hokonui Fashion Awards

We’ve always seen fashion runways with amazing collections, decent, corporate, elegant, and any name that can depict a well tailored dress. But how about weird, creativity and mind-blowing creations from creative designers? Yes, that’s where we got Hokonui Fashion Awards.

Here’s the combination of garment that won the Award of Excellence at the MLT Hokonui Fashion Awards 2019: A pair of gold Crocs, cream trousers, a multiple colored jacket and a gold top hat in Gore two nights ago.

Other designs that won the menswear award came from Donna Dinsdale of Tauranga.
