LOOKS: FASHION IN ACTION

Title: Fashion in action

Words: Melissa May White  

This year’s fall fashion has legs, and Hawai‘i’s seasonless style mavens are maxing it out on land and water, whether cruising downtown on fixie (a.k.a. fixed gear) bikes, skateboarding through Waikiki, longboarding a south swell, or shredding at A‘ala Skate Park. 

Roller Girls – Locally designed Made By Dawn swimsuits look seventies-sassy when paired with neon scarves, gobs of costume jewelry, and sand dollar-sized shades.

Fashion Fix – Sugary vintage frocks get toughened up with a dose of biker-chick attitude. 

Shredded & Threaded – Girls just wanna have fun—sassy ‘80s-inspired looks make for some serious eye candy. 
 
In the Fray – Louche, minimally styled locks (and a healthy dose of salt spray) take the polished edge off slinky maxi dresses.
