Fierce Fijian pride: Why Temesia Tuicaumia wears his sulu as resistence to fast fashion
From Fiji - with fierce pride and unapologetic style - comes Temesia Tuicaumia, a fashion designer, educator, and cultural influencer who's redefining what it means to wear your identity.
Temesia is best known for his bold refusal to wear pants, choosing instead the traditional Fijian sulu, a powerful symbol of resistance against fast fashion and a celebration of heritage.
But there's more to Temesia than meets the eye. Behind the striking style is a passionate educator, a community builder, and a man whose journey has been shaped by setbacks, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to his roots.
This episode isn't just about fashion. It's about turning identity into a brand, clothing into culture, and personal history into a movement.
