Check out the catwalk photos from Juliette Hogan’s Yacht Rockers collection shown at the Blue Sky SS2012/13 collections on Tuesday night. I loved the saucy/innocent vibe of an 80′s yacht-hopper who walked to the tune of Hall & Oates and Foreigner. Sexy and sweet is on the agenda for Juliette Hogan when the sun goes down...

Check out the catwalk photos from Alexandra Owen at last Tuesday’s Blue Sky collections showing. As always Alexandra showed incredible cutting and technique – which she is famous for, in a collection that was corporate 1980′s powerhouse, but in an avant -garde/creative way (which only this designer knows how to do!) Full review to come. Photos by...

Salasai showed their ”Green”  collection for when the warmer months decend upon us again, at the Blue Sky spring/summer 2012/13 showing on Tuesday night. I really felt a new freshness to the label, maybe due to the team’s recent move to Perth? The words that spring to mind are tropical, bright, easy and cool. Full review to come. Photos by Klaus Carson...

What was perhaps most confusing about Group Show A was that it was not clear which season designers were showing. Some were showing winter, which is in store now, and some were showing summer. The show could have been more cohesive if a distinction was made, or if the group shows were divided seasonally. Still,...

What is most important in a fashion show that showcases young designers is the ideas. Execution and technical skill also plays a part, but given that this is one of the only opportunities a designer can present their concept almost totally unrestrained, young designers need to have a really good idea to be noticed by...

Julian Danger is a label whose profile has been rising steadily for a while. With each collection, the designer’s progression is obvious and being a relatively young label, it still has that freshness that is so unique to designers new to the fashion game. Last night’s show at Willis York was one of my most...

Group Show B at Wellington Fashion Week featured a lot of relatively new designers, which made the show edgier than Group Show A. The first group show had more established designers who know what their regular customers want and design with them in mind. Tonight’s group, though still aware of consumer habits, was more experimental...
