Kilo Summit debuts at the Made in Hawaii Festival
Hawaii's Made in Hawaii Festival opens its 32nd year with a new third-floor showcase called Kilo Summit, good news for local brands and shoppers looking for one-off collaborations.
- Kilo Summit is a new space built around local food, fashion, art, and culture, with founders and artists on site.
- Several streetwear and design brands are doing first-ever collaborations there, including Island Snow with Informed and a Sig Zane appearance, in very limited quantities.
- The space was designed as part store, part exhibit — one design table was cut up and hand-painted by its founders and artist Cory Tom.
- A new Kilo Summit app for Android and iPhone lets people shop from the space by proximity once they reach the convention center, then pick up later.
Outlook: The festival runs through the weekend, and the limited-run collaborations are likely to sell out fast.
