Thread especially enjoyed the little tidbits of information such as the ages of all NZ designers (some surprises there) and that Cybele’s middle name is Snowflake. The glossary of fashion terms was also really useful and the chronological history of NZ fashion events talk us down memory lane.
In all, this is a book that will become a source of reference for anyone interested in NZ fashion and an indispensible – and thoroughly fascinating – guide.
