Thanks to the lycra and rubber content, One Size fits all.

Artist statement:

"Leilani Rickard has always enjoyed having a unique and different sense of dress style. Her mother, aunt and grandmother were dress makers and started their own small business, manufacturing children’s clothing.

Leilani started experimenting with traditional Māori weaving creating beautiful, creative and contemporary designs. “We like thinking outside the box, and enjoy creating pieces that are truly unique to our heritage” says Leilani, “We like fashion that is different, which expresses our imagination and creativity”.

Leilani and Anastasia came up with the idea to create a high street fashion range comprised of high-quality garments, that have an emotional connection to nature. ‘Natura’ being the Latin term for Nature (chosen by Anastasia for her science and art design background) and ‘Aura’ (chosen by Leilani for her weaving and artistic background), the name ‘Natura Aura’ reflects the fusion of science, nature and fashion while being inspired by their cultural heritage".
