Hi I am Liaina Malama, commonly known as Ina. I am a 22 year old emerging designer who just graduated from Massey University College of Creative Arts with a Bachelor of Design with honours. I am extremely passionate about fashion and love the idea of expressing or communicating emotions through design. I have been sewing and making my own creations since high school where my passion for design was first identified. From then on I have designed things from bridesmaid dresses to wearable art costumes and high end womens/men's apparel
