NZ Fashion Week: Day 4

Today started off with the Francis Jerard show, followed by the Miromoda showcase, a display of 14 Maori designers. Two collections that I loved were Bobby Luke's and Hori and Mimi.

Next up was the ConfiTEX show - a range of incontinence underwear and matching bras! Despite this, the sets were all super sexy and If you hadn't known the underwear was lined, you would never have guessed. Designer Frantisek Riha-Scott delivered a stunner show, and the goodie bags were awesome, so extra points for that.

NZ Fashion Week: Day 3

Today I kicked off with the New Zealand Weddings Magazine Show. As can be expected the models were surrounded in gorgeous layers of white tulle, silk and organza with elaborate head pieces to match. The show was a mix of different bridal designers; however, two stand-outs were Natalie Chan and Robyn Cliffe.

NZ Fashion Week: Day 2

Ok, so I didn't go to Day One, so we're skipping right along to Day Two's events. It was pretty surreal, finally seeing all these models and Instagram bloggers in the flesh. As for the clothes, thank God nothing's available for purchase is all I can say...

Fashion Week Baby!

This week I'm pretty stoked to be up in the big smoke, working behind the scenes at New Zealand Fashion Week! We got our t-shirts and had a quick orientation around the venue yesterday, the Viaduct Events Centre, and it's stunning. You can't go past the living wall of botanics when you walk in; very insta-worthy. I'll be backstage during the week dressing models but in between shows I'm excited to get out and have a wander 'round and just generally soak up the atmosphere.

Pictures to come, but in the mean time check out the slick NZFW t-shirt I posted on instagram this morning.

Wanting: Kate Sylvester

I'm a big fan of designers adding little, subtle details to staple pieces to make them more interesting. A perfect example is this Kate Sylvester shirt with pocket embroidery. On sale too, bonus.

Slick Celebrity Style

I find celebrities fascinating, I always have done and I get a lot of my styling ideas and inspiration from the red carpet. I guess really this isn't surprising as most celebrities have teams of stylists and "glam squads" (I'm sorry but I hate that phrase) that carefully map out each of their looks. 

Here are a few of my favourites.
