The passion at the Miromoda show. I felt really emotional at the end of it.
Starfish making history by becoming the first ever fully sustainable fashion house to show at Fashion Week.
Miromoda
Samara Vercoe hits: the flowing teal silk dress, cropped jacket with butterfly pleating on the back and tie dyed body suits.
Rerehau and Tutina hits: Beautifully constructed traditional Maori jackets with leather belts.
Junette Ward and Liz Adams hits: Piped linen trousers and subtle harem styled trousers.
Keri Wanoa hits: Navy silk dress with net like sleeves, silk pantsuit, feathered mini skirt, trousers with front pleating and off centre button detail.
Shane Hansen and Bianca Walford-Collier hits: Statement T's and jeans
Kiri Nathan hits: Beaded materials and fringing used to detail her gowns in weave like effect.
Wiremu Barriball hits: Fab music, funky sports wear and shoes. Look out for the orange and yellow basketball boot. The colours in Barriballs collection had real impact and design. Tight body skin showing off the muscles of the men had the crowd flustered.
Group Show
Barbara Lee hits: Her jackets - The animal print jacket that opened the show, lady like crop jacket with collar detail and the long Orange jacket. Lee had fabulous shoulder detailing and back pleating on garments. Look out for the hot pink and the long sequin dresses. This collection was sex kitten and elegant.
Starfish hits: This show was eagerly anticipated for me. Being a big advocate of sustainable and organic clothing, I couldn't wait to see how Starfish would measure up to others at fashion week. I wasn't disappointed. It was colourful and on trend with detail on shoulders and double breasted jackets. Look out for the full length ruffle dress, relaxed boyfriend pants and dress with blue/white print.
United Constructions hits: Piped jodhpar pants and good basics.
Mild Red: Great vests of all lengthens, which could be a layering essential, Bright merinos, fantastic detailing; pockets, ties, straps and buckles. Beautiful tailoring and construction of dresses. Look out for the military jacket with back pleating and shoulder tassels.
GHD New Generation group show
ISBIM hits: Silver bedazzling blazer, faux fur crop jacket and textured fabric leggings.
Emma Ford hits: Ford wanted to show something different to her well known swimwear during NZ fashion week, so decided to showcase body suits and floaty shirt dresses. I loved the quirky prints. Look out for the velvet body suit with chiffon cut outs.
Trix and Dandy hits: The fabulous spectacular that is Michael Pattison. This is wearable electric streetwear! Flirty fabrics and prints on shirts and dresses. The collection is super colourful and playful.
Chapel hits: wearable basics
Serena Fagence hits: 80's glam punk, Fagence knows how to design body suits and jackets with dramatic style. Look out for the triangle shaped detailing on jackets and full body suits in shiny materials.
Whiri hits: Mesh sleeves that had a weave like effect.
House of Ezis hits: The black bat wing dress, it was dramatic!
Tara Cuncliffe hits: Origami detailing was extraordinary. Her collection was filled with vibrant colour and exceptional tailoring; like the pleating on the jodhpurs, which gave an insect like effect and back pleating on dresses, which almost resembled a spine.
Watching all those group show was intense. I cant wait to see the look books!
