Meet the Maker

Shona Tāwhiao

Ngāi Te Rangi

Weaver

Artist, designer and weaver Shona Tāwhiao has exhibited her distinct style of raranga woven work for over 25 years.

Having trained in traditional Māori raranga weaving techniques and methods, by Kahutoi Te Kanawa, Shona’s talent has been described as exquisite and undeniably unique.

Shona continues to create a range of sculptural works and adornment pieces. However, the fusing of her love of
fashion and culture with her specialised techniques in weaving, has enabled Shona to create Haute Couture
from harakeke (often referred to as flax in English). This has resulted in her unique style being dubbed “Harakeke Couture”.

Shona’s multi award-winning collections of Harakeke Couture have been presented at New Zealand, London, Malaysia, Fiji, Hong Kong and Melbourne Fashion Weeks since 2010.
