Hiwa-i-te-Rangi | Dress

Matariki Collection

Each piece in the Matariki collection has a special hononga (connection) to one of the nine whetū (stars) of Matariki.

This gown is connected to Hiwa-i-te-Rangi. A black piu covers the bust with a detachable skirt with clasps at the waist. 

Hiwa-i-te-Rangi, the youngest star within the Matariki cluster, holds a special significance. She becomes the beacon for our dreams and aspirations. We send our heartfelt desires and wishes for the year to Hiwa. This beautiful tradition echoes the act of wishing upon a star or setting a New Year’s resolution.

Ki a koe e Hiwa
I send my wishes to Hiwa
