Marco Ta Moko presents the New Askari Collection

March 2014

Marco Ta Moko presents the New Askari Collection. From the Maori to the East African warrior, the Askari collection connects the spirits of those who have made history worldwide.

Each piece from the Askari collection is unique and in this diverse world distinction is the only thing that unites us.Ta Moko in the ancient Maori Language means Tattoo. The Maori people were the natives from New Zealand and there are none left in our existence.Ta Moko was worn by both men and women. It was applied to the face and buttocks of men, and to the chin, lips and shoulders of women. Depending on their ranking, they may also have Ta Moko on their face.

Ta Moko was like a history of a person’s achievements and represented their status in their tribe. It was like a resumé. It also served as a reminder to people about their responsibility in life.
