Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 18 December 2012 I spent the weekend in the Bay of Plenty and boy what an amazing part of the country it was - sun, surf and Kiwi summer at its finest! I'm now looking forward to doing a lot more of that over the next few weeks; weather permitting, of course. So, with the last official week on us in the FashioNZ office we have loads in store as we say sayonara to 2012! Barkers has been doing some great... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 11 December 2012This would have to be my favourite time of year. The temperatures are rising, the holidays are just around the corner and I love getting together to enjoy a family Christmas – terrific! I have to say I’m pretty organised this year too. The tree is up with presents already under it - a Christmas first for me. I don’t know about the craziness of your Christmas list but I... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 4 December 2012I may be showing my age here, but I used to be the proud owner of Commando M sandshoes back in the day. From memory I had a black pair and a white pair and they seemed to be the footwear choice by every Kiwi kid at the time. Like all things in fashion, trends come and go and I can’t remember how these were phased out. Was it perhaps the arrival of Kung Fu shoes or maybe that’s... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 27 November 2012Today marks four weeks until Christmas and the silly season is now in full swing. Personally, I have a pretty jammed calendar from now until Christmas and, not just with Christmas festivities. There seem to be an awful lot of people I know who are having birthdays as well. Given that the barrage of birthdays started mid-November (funnily enough, nine months after Valentine's Day) it seems... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 20 November 2012It's great to see emerging New Zealand talent being rewarded for their efforts so it was pretty cool to be there when menswear label, I Love Ugly, took away the DHL Export Scholarship. The event was an enjoyably intimate affair at Libertine Bar and Restaurant in Auckland and a great chance to catch up with others from the industry. The prize, which was presented by Kate Sylvester by way of... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 13 November 2012Over the past few months I've become a huge fan of Dermalogica products. The Daily Microfoliant and the Age Smart, skin perfect primer are definitely on my list of beauty essentials and I’m happy to be adding another, with the launch of the reformulated Sheer Tint and Cover Tint SPF20. I gave the Sheer Tint a go-over at the weekend and it was brilliant. I loved... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 6 November 2012With the start of the summer racing season upon us, sometimes getting all frocked up for a day at the track can be a lot harder than it sounds. We’ve put together five race-ready outfits, so all you have to worry about is having a good time. Don’t forget that underwear is just as important as outerwear and if you’ve ever needed a celebrity endorsement on a product, then... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 30 October 2012As I sit at my desk, I'm staring at the vast array of stuff that consumes my office. Either the courier drivers love the PR companies who send us all these goodies or they hate us for constantly receiving them; either way I've decided to use this time each week to spread the love about some things which have recently made their way to FashioNZ. ... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 23 October 2012I hope you all had a great long weekend. Okay, so the weather was a bit dreary here in Auckland, but a three-day weekend – no complaints from me. The short week ahead will definitely keep me out of trouble with a million things to do and see so, thankfully, we've got some great things and some fab comps lined up. We know how much you enjoyed last week’s feature on sunnies... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 16 October 2012It's at this time of year there is an abundance of summer products that land on my desk – mainly sunscreens, blocks and after sun care; but hey you can’t have enough sunscreen. What I’m really looking forward to is test driving some of these products and I’ll be sure to let you know the latest and greatest must-haves hitting the shelves this summer. Another... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 9 October 2012I don't often write about things I love so I figured this week would be as good a time as any to start, so here are a few of my favourite things... Firstly, I love shopping. Okay, so most of you do, but I'm not talking any old shopping. I’m talking about when I find exactly what I’m looking for. Then in the changing room, it looks just as good as I had imagined and... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 2 October 2012As the jet lag subsides and the dust settles on what was probably the best holiday I've ever had, adjusting back to the day-to-day has been a lot harder than I thought. But alas, here I am and I’ve got to say the team have done a great job without me - perhaps another holiday is in order – although I don’t think the bank balance will be so accommodating this time... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 25 September 2012 Petrina is back - jetlagged and hidden underneath her desk wishing she was back in France. However, she has been safely returned to us here at FashioNZ and we are delighted she is back. This week Julie shows us how to stop the rot while we hear about Tamsin Cooper’s clearance sale with up to 70% off – get in fast for that one! Check out the four-day school holiday programme... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 18 September 2012One week to go until Editor Petrina Wilson is back in the building! I hope the weather on her side of the world is looking better than ours. The sky’s all grey with little squints of blue peaking out, so here's hoping the rest of the week brightens up. This week we discover Nick Campbell Eyewear is exclusive to Clash. We see behind the scenes of Chalkydigits Summer 2012/2013 photo... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 11 September 2012New Zealand Fashion Week was a whirlwind, and as you can imagine we are still waiting for the dust to settle in the FashioNZ office. Covering every show is always a monumental task and, thankfully, we've all managed to come out the other side unscathed - pretty tired, but not broken! So what’s happening in the FashioNZ office this week whilst our editor is still flitting around France?... read more |
