Fashion designer Jeanine Clarkin has been at the forefront of Aotearoa's design world since 1994. She burst onto the scene with a brand of fashion celebrating Māori street wear, Tā moko, korowai and indiginous plants and animals.
She's been non stop since and her collections remain deeply rooted in matauranga māori.
Her work is featuring at Te Whare Taonga o Waikato, Waikato Museum, in a huge retrospective titled Te Aho Tapu Hou, The New Sacred Thread.
