Papua New Guinea will host its inaugural National Kolos Runway in September, a fashion competition focused solely on the ‘kolos’ – the nation’s traditional garment. The event aims to celebrate and promote this iconic piece of PNG culture. Details regarding access to information about the event are restricted to paid subscribers of the Post Courier. Subscription options range from one-day access to annual plans, with combined web and eBook packages also available. The competition is scheduled for 2026, though the launch event is this September. This initiative marks a significant step in recognizing and elevating PNG’s unique fashion heritage. Further details are behind a paywall.
