Funk N Soul97 I am a Perth-based Polynesian model and designer with disabilities.

✨️ PUSH THE BOUNDARIES, INSPIRE AND CREATE ✨️ Tia - Funk N Soul 97
ABN 48 108 834 286

As a model and designer with disabilities, I am breaking barriers and proving that nothing can stop someone from pursuing their dreams. My Polynesian cultural heritage is the foundation of my designs, and I pour my heart and soul into each piece I create. From luxurious silk to comfortable cotton and stretchy lycra, my fabrics are carefully selected for their quality and versatility. What sets my designs apart is that each one is hand-printed by me, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly the same. This means that when you wear one of my creations, you are truly wearing a one-of-a-kind work of art. By pursuing my passion, I hope to inspire others with disabilities to chase their dreams and never give up. With hard work, dedication, and a little bit of creativity, anything is possible.

SYDNEY, THANK YOU!

Last Saturday, the Fiji Fashion Week Sydney Edit brought together creativity, Pacific pride and a wonderful community of supporters.
To our 12 incredible designers, thank you for sharing your talent, stories and passion. Your collections brought the runway to life and showcased the creativity our region has to offer. To our stunning 42 Models – such stars!

To our hardworking team, models, backstage crew, hair and makeup artists, volunteers and production crew—thank you for your dedication and teamwork. Despite a last-minute change in venue, everyone rallied together and helped us execute a great show.

We are so proud of what we achieved together!

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and partners: the Fiji Consulate General & Trade Commission in Australia and New Zealand, Fiji High Commission in Canberra, Tourism Fiji, Pratech, Bula Kava, our AV Team DPLR and L’Oréal Aus for the hair and a special thank you to BeautyBySammy for the makeup. Thank you for believing in our vision and supporting Pacific fashion.

To our photographers, Jacqui, Billy and Ged, thank you for capturing the runway magic and the special moments behind the scenes.

And to everyone who attended, cheered us on, shared our posts, supported our designers or lent a helping hand—vinaka vakalevu. Your support helped make this show possible, and we are grateful to each of you. See you back there in 2027!

With love and gratitude,
The Fiji Fashion Week Team
