Miss Hanalei Reponty isn’t the kind of girl that you forget, let’s be honest. Hailing from Tahiti and being so Frenchie so Chic, this golden haired fair maiden is more than meets the eye. Since the first time we met up on the beaches of Bondi nearly 2 years ago, Hana has been busy and she ain’t no one trick pony. With a full time modelling career, a part time surfing career and her newest passion Abysse, a swimwear/surf capsule collection designed for the modern day femme fatale, it’s no wonder that time has flown. So when my good friend Penny Lane of Alterior Motif recently teamed up with Hanalei to launch a limited edition t-shirt collection it only seemed right that all of our stars should align. Sometimes it’s about mixing a bunch of creative people together and seeing what comes from the results, so with a boat full of creatives adrift in the ocean, we set sail to see if we could make some magic happen. Sometimes it’s all about creativity and taking risks.. after all a ship will always be safe in the harbour, but that’s not what ships are really built for .. x
