The design features on the front of all kākahu, with the exception of the hoodie, where it is printed on the back to allow for a larger print area and greater visual impact.
GWEN
Inspired by Spider-Gwen, one of Marvel's most popular modern heroes, this artwork represents individuality, courage, and the confidence to forge your own path.
Known for her determination, agility, and strong sense of self, Gwen stands apart by embracing who she is while navigating the challenges that come with responsibility and growth. Her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and remaining true to yourself, even when faced with uncertainty.
Traditional koru patterns are woven throughout the artwork, symbolising new beginnings, personal growth, and the journey of becoming who you are meant to be. These elements complement Gwen's character, reflecting independence, adaptability, and the courage to embrace change while staying connected to your identity.
Bold, energetic, and full of character, this artwork blends contemporary pop culture with Māori artistic expression in TP Illustration and Design's distinctive style. The design celebrates confidence, self-belief, and the strength that comes from embracing your unique path.
