Digital Diary: Salasai Designer Kirsha Whitcher Shares Her Online Habits
Salasai founder and co-designer Kirsha shares what makes her tick when she's plugged in
Despite being based in Perth, Kirsha Whitcher's roots remain in New Zealand. After launching her brand Salasai in her home town of Napier in 2006, it's been a highlight on the NZFW calendar over the years.
Along with co-designer Kelly Watson, the brand is taking a different approach at NZFW this year with a digital launch, working with a range of creative content makers to roll out their interpretation of the new collection.
Fittingly, Kirsha shares what makes her tick when she's plugged in.
