A*MUSE by Richie Rich featuring Pamela Anderson

K, first let me skip to the bit even the most professional of fashion editors were waiting for - would she front?  The answer is YES, Pammy and Richie did a length of the runway at the end of their ANZFW show - Pammy resplendent in a semi-sheer piece of cloth (again) and Richie on rollerskates.  And did we love them and was she pretty?  Yes.

And the collection?  Yep, have to say it had merit.  Some of the garments made me think, hmmm - I already saw EXACTLY this in the '80s done just as well by my friend Tony Hart of Moontide - but nevertheless there were some strong and fresh outfits:  like the black sheer flocked one shoulder all-in-one with elasticated ankle pants; smiled at the Flintstone fluting on a boy's fleuro-on white mini trunks; like the dropped crotch knee length print breeches and the zigzag dropped crotch number with cami.

REALLY liked fluoro treatment on a sequinned bodice and a beautiful silky caftan with rainbow colours on white.  The graphics on tees, leggings, all the knits were good (if you like the aforementioned fluoro on white that is).

And let's not even START on crotch embelishment on boys' speedos and Nicky Watson being the perfect A*MUSE model...

Thanks Richie, Pammy and NZ Fashion Week for showing us a rollicking good time.
