Hawaii Fashion Incubator

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The Hawai'i Fashion Incubator (Hifi) was created in 2006 by two style-loving friends: Melissa May White and Toby Portner.

Hifi's mission is to inspire, promote, and sustain an integrated fashion community in Hawai‘i.

Hifi aims to raise awareness and appreciation of fashion as both art and industry through alliances with the arts, government, and business sectors, cultural organizations, and educational institutions.

Hifi's membership program will foster collaboration and resource sharing within Hawai'i's fashion community, providing guidance and resources and linking local talent with the global marketplace.

Our debut event "Huna Aloha" went down at Ramsay Gallery downtown as part of Honolulu's 2nd Annual Fashion Week. Mahalo to all those who came out to show support for Hifi and the UH Costome Collection!
