41^st Hui Makaala Scholarship Fund Luncheon Party and Fashion Show

On October 10^th, Hui Makaala Scholarship Fund held a luncheon and a fashion show at Hawaii Convention Center. Every year, many women rush to this fashion show and it is now one of the most popular events among Japanese-American women. This year, the event featured the work of Ms. Ann Nanba, who is a fresh local designer. Her daring, but also elegant dresses that use Japanese obi, and the patterns and colors of kimono caught the women’s eyes. Ms. Nanba designed costumes for “Madame Butterfly” at the Opera Festival in Savonlinna, Finland this summer. At the fashion show, with Hawaii Opera Theater’s participation, famous scenes of “Madame Butterfly” were performed by opera singers, which added extra joy to the event.
