Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 14 August 2012 Firstly, 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 |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 10 July 2012Lulu Wilcox is an industry expert who’s extensive experience stretches from head of wardrobe for MTV Australia to fashion editor for New Idea, a role she relinquished only recently. 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 |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 5 June 2012Congratulations Dame Pieter for this deserving and prestigious honour. We’d also like to make special mention of designer Robyn Mathieson who was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for her services to fashion. With such a tribute being made to New Zealand fashion this past weekend, all of my activities somewhat pale in comparison. Julie, however, has been at... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 29 May 2012Actually, I'll be a little more precise; I don’t mind the moving in, it’s the moving out that, well, drives me a little crazy. There’s so much pressure to de-clutter at the same time as packing and this is normally the time when one makes bad decisions about what comes to the new place and what doesn’t. I can’t name the number of times clothing has made it... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 22 May 2012You may have noticed over the last couple of weeks that we've made a few changes to FashioNZ.co.nz and our weekly Fashion Report. Now you can delight in our designer profiles, directories, view lookbooks and Shop the Look with ease and when you get the chance once again, we would love to know what you think of our new look? You may have also noticed there’s a familiar name... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 15 May 2012It's hard to believe that in only a few weeks we'll be hitting the middle of the year and most people I have spoken to lately are scratching their heads wondering where the last few months have gone. Of course, it's during those busy times that the online shopping concept is so convenient. Being able to browse and shop online 24/7 from the comfort of your couch is a wonderful way to keep on... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 8 May 2012From what I can tell it looked like Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia turned out to be a pretty sweet event. Reading through reviews and regularly scanning the image galleries provided a colourful taste of key looks we can expect to see for spring/summer 2012. Chartreuse appears to be one of the stronger colours we'll see in the new season and it also seems the peplum will also be around... read more |
