Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 6 September 2012 Loved starting the day off site at Australis House for Blue Sky (presented by ghd) yesterday. Great Atomic coffee, a happy hum and then fantastic shows by twenty seven names and Ingrid Starnes. Wednesday presented another eight shows, some from less established or more commercial brands, but each proved they had darn good reason to be on the NZFW runway. The New Zealand Weddings Magazine... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 5 September 2012Eight great shows at Fashion Week yesterday. Everyone will have had their favourites, but I think Sara Aspinall's solo debut with her Company of Strangers label was universally cheered, and you couldn't argue that Juliette Hogan’s ‘Never Look Back’ was a self-assured stunner. Today will see another eight shows and the FashioNZ Dream Team will be working our well-dressed... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 4 September 2012It's like Christmas - New Zealand Fashion Week comes but once a year. Last night's opening party was relaxed and joyful with the presence of Olympic medallists adding fresh and unprecedented star power while Dame Pieter Stewart assured guests that NZFW is here for the long haul. As I write this I'm about to dash off to the Sofitel to meet the VIP Internationals; run to the Media Boat... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 28 August 2012 Following on from Julie's FreeStyle last week, we have some amazing images from backstage at WORLD's flash bash and you can read all about the evening "Beel Appeal at WORLD". And it’s not just WORLD which is hitting the headlines this week either. Karen Walker kicked off the first of The Marr factory shows on Sunday night, with Zambesi last night. The names continue... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 21 August 2012Thankfully I’ve been able to enjoy a calorie-free sugar fix this week reading Pip’s Shoe Blog, titled “Pretty Sweet”. A delicious look into fabulous footwear in this season’s hottest colours which embody all things sugary, feminine and pastel, yum! Also this week, Julie catches up with Evelyn Ebrey, previously one of our fabulous FashioNZ contributors who has... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 14 August 2012Firstly, spring is only a few weeks away and I’ve been receiving new season lookbooks almost daily. I do enjoy thoroughly studying each one that lands on my desk. Well, actually it’s more like gazing lovingly and I’m especially in love with the colours and prints I’m seeing on pants, tops, jackets, shoes an exciting season ahead...bring it on! Secondly, I'm thrilled... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 7 August 2012So the to-do list is vast, but they’re trucking through it: Sponsors organised - check, designers confirmed – check, and of course now model casting can also be ticked off the list – check... Last Sunday, New Zealand models from the top agencies around the country had a chance to “walk the walk” - all vying for a spot in New Zealand’s biggest fashion... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 31 July 2012So last week was pretty exhausting, fun - but exhausting! It's that time of year when many brands are launching the start of the new season fashion and footwear and each season, PRs and companies become a lot more creative in bringing these great brands to the market. The NumberOne Shoes launch at Britomart Country Club was the perfect setting for a mild Auckland morning. The event titled... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 24 July 2012It’s wonderful to see Fashion Week veterans, who have been showing every year since the beginning, returning to show new designers how it’s done. 2012 really is offering an interesting balance of new, known and returning labels – it is going to be big week! I’m not going into much more detail as I think you’ll find Julie's FreeIStyle column this week is the... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 17 July 2012It really is a great cause and although I have not participated this year (a recent birthday required a glass or two to get through), I’ll certainly be sponsoring those that I can. If you’re a bit like me and would like to be a monetary participant then you can find out how at www.dryjuly.com. To the Dry-July participants – Come July 31 you’ll not only be feeling... read more |

She is also a freelance stylist. Each month Lulu will share tips and experiences with us, and today she begins with Lulu’s 10 Rules of Style - a must read. So, if you’re in the industry and... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 3 July 2012I’m really looking forward to the gorgeous colours coming through which are a wonderful way to say goodbye to the muted tones of winter. My countdown has also begun for a trip to Europe in a couple of months. I’m off to a wedding and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the gorgeous Europeans will be wearing when I’m there. After scrimping and saving, I’ve... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 26 June 2012Pips Shoe Blog “Pumped up Kicks” tells us how celebs are working the “high top” into their everyday wardrobes. Not only do they look chic but the practical comfort factor makes this trend a winner in my books. I have to breathe a sigh of relief that the glam sneaker has been updated into a more steamlined and elegant version than that of the platform/Spice Girl-ish... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 19 June 2012While I feel pretty rushed off my feet at the moment, I have to take my hat off to the team at New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW). With less than 12 weeks to go they are hard at work planning to make 2012 the best ever. While NZFW is vital to the folk in the fashion industry, for 2012 there is a strong focus on bringing the best of this event to you to enjoy. New Zealand Fashion Week... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 12 June 2012We feel it’s only fair to share them with you on a regular basis and we’d love your feedback as to which styles take your fancy. This week we’ve embraced our love for printed pants in Spring Addiction #1 and I’d have to admit there was fair bit of debate as to which ones, were who’s favourite. To be honest, with such a gorgeous selection to choose from,... read more |
