Old Hawaiian Style by Nicholas Black
These are images that where created during the 1980's and 1990's for the Honolulu clothing manufacture: HRH - His Royal Highness ( now Kahala Sportswear) which had a factory in Kalihi in downtown Honolulu. I was hired by childhood friend Dale Hope to do textile yardage art for aloha shirts. The company was also interested in developing a new T shirt clothing line for the people of Hawaii. One day while I was in the factory, I discovered a label called "Hawaiian Style" under one of the 'cutting' tables The label was used to compliment the HRH aloha shirt clothing line. The company was looking for a name to call the new T shirt line. I said "Dale ...there it is - the name of the T shirt line 'Hawaiian Style'. That was the start of Hawaiian Style clothing line and the rest is history.
