Aisea Konrote is a fashion designer in Fiji. Originally from Tuoi in Juju, Rotuma. His designs are based on a consideration of environmental, cultural and traditional factors that utilise natural resources. He stresses the importance of respectability of cultures, traditions and the use of natural resources. He made his debut during Fiji Fashion Week in December 2008.
The brand name for Aisea's collection is Hefrani, a Rotuman word for morning star. But the name is one close to his heart as it is also the Rotuman name of his grand niece Karay whom he loves and adores.
Aisea is a former model and flight attendant whose passion for fashion designing began at an early age.
It was only in 2008 that he gathered the courage to showcase what he's longed to do for a very long time - see his designs come to life on the catwalk.
