french dressing

sorry! we've been missing in action recently - new zealand fashion week and a trip to paris for buying has meant we've neglected the blog a bit! but never fear, we've been tracking down lots of exciting new things for you for next season (and eating a few pastries along the way) and we'll be a lot more diligent now we promise - we have lots of exciting deliveries, press, and interesting bits 'n pieces to share with you.

stay tuned!

meet and greet: raphael hauber

the super nice raphael from postweiler hauber (which incidentally from next season will be called raphael hauber - appropriately enough) whom we met for the first time at our appointment in paris. the collection features amazing photo prints of multi coloured rag rugs, in some cases zoomed into at a microscopic level, and some beautiful tailored pieces with panelling featuring super soft leather.

meet and greet: peter jensen

we had a lovely time yesterday with peter and gerard from peter jensen, drinking cups of coffee, going through the super cute collection and finding out that peter's favourite new zealand film is NOT lord of the rings (we've had that all week!! peter hasn't even seen it...) but angel at my table. love it!

rad by rad hourani appointment

we had our appointment to view the rad by rad hourani collection in paris yesterday, the lovely thomas took us through the range and was the perfect rad hourani ambassador wearing the tightest of leather pants, a sheer silk singlet and a pair of the rad hourani heels - too shy for a photo, but here's the appropriately monochromatic studio they were selling from.

the collection was stunning, drape fronted jackets with removable sleeves, two tone denim and pvc jeans, drapey waistcoat fronted silk tops and much more. beautiful! too much black? never!

meet and greet: annalisa dunn from cooperative designs

one half of the dynamic duo behind cooperative designs on the streets of paris outside the london showrooms.
