This Day - Māori Fashion Design
Television (Full Length) – 1970
I commenced it three years ago when a lady approached me. She was going overseas promoting New Zealand...and she wanted her wardrobe to be of authentic Māori designs and I incorporated them into modern designs. But I don't think New Zealand was ready for it then. I was a little bit ahead of my time.– Ann Rupe on incorporating traditional design with contemporary fashion
