Costume design by Ali Pretty for the Oceana Wing costume at the FIFA Club World Championships in Abu Dhabi, 2009.
Ali Pretty was commissioned to create a series of designs for the FIFA Club World Championships in Abu Dhabi. Working to the brief of director Stephen Powell, each costume is intended to represent nations playing in the competition. With each country having two skirt designs and one wing design.
This design is intended to represent New Zealand, inspired by Maori and South Pacific patterns and colours. The design was then applied onto pre-cut silk, and the wings were held up using fiberglass rods and wooden backpacks on the performers.
The project would see Kinetica paint 2,500 metres, with 25 East London Artists working for 5 weeks in London. The costumes would return to Kinetika after the championships and have toured to many carnivals in the UK.
