Fashion News: Zambesi Was The Highlight
Of Fashion Week - Arguably the most anticipated show
on the schedule, and the final show of the week, last night
Zambesi gave us sexy edginess in a directional show. Held at
the Westhaven Marina, the show commenced with searchlights
strobing the venue and ambient spooky music, which
progressed into the Jaws soundtrack – somehow this managed
not to be cheesy! See... Feature:

Fashion News: Red Riding Hood Inspires
Kate Sylvester Show - Kate Sylvester Little Red
Riding Hood Fur and wool coats, hoods and snoods ruled the
catwalk at the Kate Sylvester Autumn/Winter collection show.
Inspired by the story of Little Red Riding Hood, Kate
certainly set the mood with a dark forest backdrop, glowing
eyes projected on the walls and the sounds of wolves howling
echoing around the hall. See... Feature:

Fashion: First Solo Show Brings New Vision
To Fashion Week - Jane Rhodes bought a new vision
and focus to her first solo show at Air New Zealand Fashion
Week. Entitled Art Forms in Nature, inspiration was drawn
from the drawings of botanist Ernst Haeckel. A gorgeous bird
print was a favourite, printed on gold silk sleeveless
dresses and skirts. Colour tones throughout the collection
were pulled from the print; pea green, maroon, baby blue,
and shades of brown. See... Feature:

Fashion: Huffer Stamps Its Mark On NZ
Fashion Week - Distinctly New Zealand label Huffer
made their debut at this year’s ANZFW, with one of the
most anticipated shows on the schedule. Held off-site at the
Huffer headquarters on Queen Street, royal antique chairs
surrounded the catwalk which was formed from their
workbench. The Electric Confectionaries band provided ear
candy with a lounge-y rock’n’roll sound and there were
more photographers than I had seen at any other show! See...

Fashion: Miranda Brown's Marama
Turns Up The Artistic Heat - A body painted model
wearing nothing but red corduroy shorts opened Miranda
Brown’s show named Marama. Rather than the less
wearable, “artistic” show some may have expected, the
designer offered a pleasing array of frocks, coats, skirts
and more casual vests and hoodies. See... Feature:

Fashion: Liz Mitchell
Lines Up An Eye Opener At Fashion Week-
Fashionz.co.nz writes: the sound of waves breaking onto
shore, the sand and shells on the catwalk and the filmy
tresses of chiffon ‘seaweed’ through which the models
walked, all set the scene for Liz Mitchell’s
“Undercurrent” collection. It was pure Liz Mitchell –
so very beautiful, so very accomplished. See... Fashionz.co.nz:

Day One Of Fashion Week - Day One at Fashion Week is
not what you might expect. It is really another day of set
up, registration and a final desperate rush for tickets and
seating. But in the evening, everyone kicks up their heels
for the official opening party, and if you are lucky like we
were, at the Karen Walker Eyewear Launch, where I tried on
the divine glasses... See... Fashion.co.nz:
