Mo‘olelo

Mo‘olelo Collection – Hawaiian Stories in Design

In Hawaiian, mo‘olelo means “story.”
At Princess Kaiulani Fashions, each design in the Mo‘olelo Collection is created to carry a story — from Hawai‘i’s natural wonders and mythology to its multicultural heritage. These garments are more than fashion; they are living narratives woven into fabric.

Hawai‘i’s history is filled with legends, migrations, and connections between people and the land. The Mo‘olelo Collection brings these stories to life through unique silhouettes, prints, and details.

Nature & Mythology

Inspired by the fire of Pele, the goddess of the volcano, the gentle flow of the ocean, and blossoms like lehua and plumeria that carry symbolic meaning.

Cultural Fusion
