Wolfgang's Steakhouse Kicks Off Hawai‘i Fashion Week Polynesian Style with a Brunch Fashion Show by Tiare Teiti Saturday, September 10th, 11 A.M.

WOLFGANG’S STEAKHOUSE BY WOLFGANG ZWIENER will be continuing its monthly brunch fashion shows - usually held on the last Saturday of each month with the exception of this Saturday, September 10th – with a very special event to kick-off HAWAII FASHION WEEK–POLYNESIAN STYLE. This weekend’s fashion show will feature the beautiful designs of TIARE TEITI.

The Tahitian-inspired contemporary Polynesian fashions will be modeled by the contestants of the MR. & MISS POLYNESIA PACIFIC PAGEANT. The 2nd annual pageant and Polynesian show will take place at the Pacific Beach Hotel on September 17th. (See below for event and ticket information.)

The models will also be wearing “strands and strands” of exotic black pearls from MARGO-LA PERLE DE TAHITI, said event organizer, Ralph Malani, creator of Hawaii Fashion Week–Polynesian Style and owner of Hawaii Polynesian Model & Talent Agency.

“This will be much more than a fashion show because, in addition to the cutting edge Polynesian fashions of Tiare Teiti, and the gorgeous pearls from Margo, brunch guests will be able to see the men and women from the pageant ‘up close and personal’ performing on Wolfgang’s runway,” said Malani. “It will be the most beautiful and exciting brunch experience you’ve ever had!”
