My name is Tiki Naga. I am a British-born Fijian who has lived in Northern Ireland for most of my life. Personally, my goal is to promote my Fijian culture through fashion. During my four years of study, I developed a strong interest in textiles, particularly in print. This practice has helped me connect with my roots and become aware of environmental issues in the Pacific. My print style focuses on geometric shapes and repetitive designs. I choose to represent my Fijian culture within my prints, to showcase region of the world - not known in the fashion industry. In my recent collection 'My Fiji', I designed a print featuring text addressing the environmental issue of nuclear waste from Japan being dumped in the Pacific Ocean. Although deeply saddening this inspired me to develop a new print design with subtly incorporated text, conveying the message 'Don't Nuke the Pacific'. This also highlights other challenges affecting South Pacific islands, such as climate change. Due to rising water levels, islanders have been forced to leave their villages. Despite the presence of a message, I purposely made it challenging for viewers to discern the text themselves, as it is not immediately obvious and requires effort to piece together. My primary style is streetwear, which serves as the cornerstone of my design approach. For example, during my second year, I embarked on a men's wear project that drew inspiration from a male muse. My muse was influenced by the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and I interpreted what the show meant to me from a fashion perspective. To me, it encapsulated the essence of Jordans, basketball vests, and oversized jeans, which align with my style in my day-to-day attire. In the future, I aim to prioritise sustainability in every aspect of my work, from the materials I use to the way I design. It's crucial in today's fashion industry. Additionally, showcasing my Fijian heritage is integral to my design approach and personal identity.
