Youngster Ziggy Yominao, recently launched his clothing brands ‘Fword’ & ‘White Collar’ in a small presentation held in front of his house at Niu Street, East Boroko, Port Moresby city.
The modest event kicked off with song performances by LDK, stand-up comedy and later a mini-fashion show called the Sunset Show.
Yominao explained that the clothing designs are inspired by his personal experiences.
“My designs are based on what I’ve experienced in life as a youth.”
“I communicate my experiences through the designs so people can relate to.”
He added the clothing was designed with the intention to make people feel confident about themselves.
When asked why the show was held within his residence, Yominao responded stating that he wanted his audience to have a feeling of involvement.
“When you enter my residence, you become part of who I am; you get to see who I am – experience my thoughts and my art.”
He elaborated that the event was called Sunset Show because his house has great sunset views.
“I wanted my audience to experience the sunset the way I experience it.”
Yominao has more shows planned and intends to present them in a way that is unique to him as an artist.
“These events are not bringing the feeling of showcasing something; it is more like, you as an individual must get involved to know and understand what is happening.”
