Fashion Tribe: On the ‘Five-0′ red carpet SEP. 14, 2014 BY NADINE KAM / nkam@staradvertiser When you work in Hawaii, you don’t need to pay all that much attention to fashion, even if you’re a celeb. During the “Hawaii Five-0″ Sept. 13 season five premiere event at Sunset on the Beach, most of the celebs seemed to have little clue about what they were wearing. Nevertheless, some hands-on body and label searches provided some answers. First to arrive on the red carpet was Taylor Wily, who plays Kamekona on the series, with his family. His wife Halona said he’s picky about what he wears, and this year the whole family dressed in Missing Polynesia to reflect their Samoan heritage. The prints they wore paid homage to Samoan tattoo designs and landmarks such as Leapia Harbor. In another touching homage, Dennis Chun, who plays Sgt. Duke Lukela in the series, wore a Honolulu Police Department—I think tie bar that he wore on his lapel—that belonged to his father, the late Kam Fong Chun, who was a patrolman in the 1960s. He famously went on to play Chin Ho Kelly in the original “Hawaii Five-0.” Said Chun, “I think he would have loved to be here.” Though admittedly “not a fashion person,” Grace Park, who plays Kono Kalakaua in the series, looked every bit the Hollywood pro in a goddessy green bias-cut satin gown from Versace, with slash seams throughout. Although she’s been missing from the red carpet in recent years, she said she felt comfortable being there. “It’s so mellow, no one is out here to tear you apart, coz why go through that?” And executive producer Peter Lenkov only knew he was wearing a Tom Ford shirt, but could share more abot the season to come, including the return of “Lost” actor Terry O’Quinn. With other “Lost” actors Daniel Dae Kim and Jorge Garcia already on board, Lenkov said, “They love Hawaii so much, they’re coming to us.” honolulupulse/2014/09/fashion-tribe-h50-sotb-2014/
