Lontessa

Transcending culture, fashion is a seductive universal tongue. Lontessa is influenced by New Zealand’s ethnic values, the iconography of the region’s history, femininity and sustainability. Keeping production small and local, creating and utilising biologically-friendly fabrics, such as customised woven and printed materials. With an Industrial Design background, Tessa Lont's creative self-expression began with designing personalised lingerie and Indigenous Maori art through fabric and clothing. Combining these 3 elements, Lontessa now fuses innovation with traditional crafts in her sensual, wearable and expressive designs.
