Jeanine Clarkin: Woven from the Land. For over 27 years, pioneering Māori designer Jeanine Clarkin has created a unique bridge between couture and slow fashion. Her work is a profound conversation with her Wharenui, drawing inspiration from Wairua (spirit), Mauri (life force), and Te Taiao (the environment). Her celebrated collections repurpose vintage woollen textiles, transforming them into powerful contemporary statements that explore history, colonisation, and the reclamation of cultural narrative. Each garment is founded in Mātauranga Māori, continuing the vital tradition of women's fibre art. Jeanine Clarkin. Wear the Story.
