I realise no one has any sympathy for owners of websites who do not update on a regular basis BUT our rock star Jenna moved back to the South Island in August and those of us left didn’t know where to start.
Lame as that sounds, its the truth BUT we’re going to upskill ourselves, promise.
On the back of our successful inaugural showcase at Air NZ Fashion Week, a simple Miromoda search on Google will realise any number of sites with images and reviews. Congratulations to all the designers who invested many long hours (and more than a few bucks) to participate in the Miromoda Showcase.
Special thanks to ANZFW Founding Director, Pieter Stewart for taking a punt and making the Miromoda inclusion possible.
To all other ancilliary helpers including; opera singers Zane Te Wiremu Jarvis & Mere Boyton, make-up artists headed by Krystina Te Kanawa, all 15 stunning models from varying agencies, hair stylists fom Samala Robinson Academy.,Michelle and Marie from Jane Iredale cosmetics, 24 ZOOM Digital, Leon Wharekura - KIA ORA RA!!

OUR COMMITMENT
The Indigenous Māori Fashion Apparel Board (IMFAB) was founded in 2008, as a non-profit organisation, instituted to advance the quality status of Māori fashion design and to raise its artistic and professional standards. Miromoda also aims to define a code of ethical practices of mutual benefit in public and trade relations and, to promote appreciation of the fashion arts through leadership in high quality, authenticity and aesthetic discernment.
Miromoda is committed to nurturing the development of the Māori fashion industry’s future designers. Miromoda educational initiatives will provide support and strengthen resources for students at secondary, tertiary and post-graduate levels. In addition, Miromoda hopes to offer support to working designers in the early stages of their careers, and should they require, mentoring throughout their future, including international profile and participation.
Miromoda has been founded by a small group of enthusiastic people who hosted an awards competition event on 27th June ‘09 at Wellington’s Massey University, the finalists showcased at Air New Zealand Fashion Week in September 2009.
