- AZA.
one of Fiji’s most prominent design Houses, collections curated by IndoFijian Zulfikar Ali [who is also a designer].
“The models are Sonali P [in the teal]; Sera N [in the navy floral] and Ariel X [in red]. Three favorite models.
Sonali who is IndoFijian-Aus was a major muse, a kathak dancer at that time [with NSW’s premier Indian Classical Dance company and school, Ruchi Sanghi Dance Company], she was a dream to photograph.
Sera is Fijian-Aus and now a full-time professional Australian Rugby Union player and sports commentator.
Ariel was/is also a focused, multi-faceted woman and she is doing awesome things too.
This was one of two shoots, both shoots showcased the versatility and cosmopolitan adaptability of Fiji designers.
I kept the styling for the Anarkalis simple. [TBC 25/03]
This is a never before seen shoot from 2015, done for a magazine [that never was] called Revolution Fiji.
Anytime I see a name like that I raise an eyebrow . The revolution will not be televised [Gil Scott-Heron’s 1970 poem] has an added meaning in this world of show… [TEA SPILLING TBC].” – Dusk Devi
