«Endless beautiful summer flowers on Aunty Nani. Bases in Lihue, Hawaii. Photographs her Aunty Nani who creates the most magical and vibrant floral compositions. Adorning her silver – streaked hair with beautiful native flowers each image is lush, bright and breath of fresh air. The first post of her in 2016. Older women to be very bold and expressive just like young women but everyday expressions of personal style and design sensibilities. Aunty Nani, with her singular styling, is the ultimate ambassador for taking the ancient tradition of adorning yourself with flowers – hers come from many places: her garden, the nursery, the sale section of the supermarket – and making it wholly your own. Thought we never see her face, Aunty Nani feels familiar, as if she could be your own tûtû or aunty or kumu or woman you see dily at the grocery store. She`s grounding assured presence, reminding us that beauty is ubiquitous and adornment available to everyone, if only we go outside and look.»
