In fine style, the Government Building was host to the Teuila Festival’s very first fashion show last Thursday.
President of the Samoa Mamanu and Elei Design Association, Susana Ah Wong, said this event was a great opportunity for the designers to promote both their products and Samoa.

“This is the first time we have done a Teuila Fashion Show."
“The reason being is that I want to promote and I also want to share with them my experiences."
“Even though it’s not perfect…practice makes it perfect.”
Ms. Wong said a few of the models had some experience working fashion shows.
“However most of them it’s their first time,” she said.
“So we were trying very hard to teach them how to walk and be confident and especially have fun while they are modeling."
“This is a good event because it helps with promoting our businesses and also our country."
“So I’m really happy tonight and I’m glad that it all went well.”
The fashion show showcased a range of designs from puletasi and alo’a wear, to children’s wear, everyday wear, and sarongs (lavalavas) to wedding dresses.
Ms. Wong did not clarify which businesses participated in the show.
