Aloha Shirt, the spirit of the islands

Once a symbol of tropical glamour in Hollywood, then long considered the epitome of cheesiness, the Hawaiian shirt has become an icon of the tropics and an emblem of pop culture.

 

Reflecting the cultural diversity of the Pacific, the Aloha Shirt conveys a message of peace and joy linked to the spirit of the islands.

 

To recount this success story, Antoine Laguerre went to Waikiki, where the Aloha Shirt is a national heritage item.
