The Sew Fine: Hawai‘i Island Threads is a curated showcase of Hawai‘i Island’s fashion history and its evolution into the present day. Featuring iconic garments from Hawai‘i’ Island’s past, you’ll also see cultural attire that celebrates the island's multicultural heritage.

In addition to historical pieces, the exhibit includes garments from today’s prominent local designers, showcasing how they continue to carry forward the traditions of craftsmanship and self-expression through their creations.
