The Collections Show #1 on Monday at NZ Fashion Festival featured Moochi, We’Ar, Blak Luxe, Neverblack, Starfish, Esprit, Storm, Salasai, Coop, and a debut from streetwear label, Skull and Bones.
Observations: The short straw in the model kingdom seems to be the girl who has to wear the vinyl bike shorts. Until tonight, we never knew Esprit made men’s suits.
The best styling of the evening was the Maori Victoriana from yoga fashion label, we’ar, reminiscent of Jane Campion film, The Piano. Also well-styled was Storm, with studs and leather gloves accessorising outfits.
The girls walking for Blak Luxe had gorgeous hair and M.A.C. make-up, with Heidi braids entangled at the back of the head, and flushed cheeks.
In audience demographic news, I have never seen so many blokes at a fashion show in my life. They can’t ALL be from alcohol sponsors, can they?

These amazing goth girls dressed to the nines.
The Perrier girls wore dresses designed by Stolen Girlfriends Club.
