Charlie Brown NZFW 2012 Review

Further evidence that Fashion Weeks are moving their focus to local, rather than international buyers, Charlie Brown crossed the ditch last night to bring her AW 2013 collection, ‘Naughty and Nice’ to NZFW. Brown’s label is synonymous with ‘Australian’ style: sequins, colour, and glamour. In contrast, the New Zealand sartorial archetype is dark, moody, and...

Blak/Blak Luxe NZFW 2012 Review

Blak’s Autumn Winter 2013 collection titled ‘The Black Rose’ gives a good show! It was prim yet edgy, soft and hard, and light meets dark – incorporating lambskin leathers and lace, sheer layers, and large floral printed silks with secret skulls hidden amongst the blooms.

Trelise Cooper NZFW 2012 Review

Trelise Cooper has long been recognised as the queen of the dramatic Fashion Week show. Tonight, was truly no exception; the goodie bags were covered in tiny LEDs and Twink ed like stars on the delegates’ seats, the backdrop was at first a wall of golden balloons, and later a filigree of sparkles. Other designers must envy the ability of this woman to make her shows such a surprising...
