The same dedication my team & I give to siva sāmoa, is the same energy we give to styling people in any of the handmade Samoan cultural garments (lā'ei sāmoa), that I personally design & create. Every choreographed siva sāmoa piece, every Samoan design or lā'ei sāmoa: including tuiga & puletasi, that you see featured on this page— TAMA'ITA'I created. We appreciate everyone’s love & support throughout the years! We see y'all. 🙏🏽🤎 #Samoan #TAMAITAI #KuegisKreations #TheAcademyofSivaSamoa #LaeiS

As promised, here it is! The Academy of Siva Samoa started this journey back in February & after a course of 3 months these amazing girls, who in the beginning knew little to nothing about siva samoa, have grown tenfold. This evening they presented their hard work to their closest friends and family through music, dance, traditional customs and cultural practices but also technique. A night of pure magic, growth and love, real love- no shade. 🙌😍 Video by none other than the talented Tara Manea
