Screenshot 2023 03 29 at 3.19.35 PM

MISS MAIA founder/designer, Tracey Gardner’s creative vision is to create futurist designs awakened by ancestry. Through MISS MAIA Tracey reinvents traditional Māori symbolism by marryIng it with contemporary materials and the use of bold and unexpected palettes. Tracey is mindful of ensuring that her futurist approach is balanced carefully with tradition to ensure that every design maintains the essential connection to ancestry and traditional stories. The combination is vibrant, high-fashion, statement pieces that communicate the powerful and ancient design-language of her tīpuna in an entirely unique and contemporary way.
