The sun drenched courtyard of Sale St provided the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of fabulous food and catwalk shows, aptly titled Fashion Fusion, hosted by the ever gracious Anna Jobz and her team at AJPR.
A set menu of three courses created by the Executive Chef of Cru restaurant Nick Honeyman was inspired by key ingredients provided by the showcasing designers.
An entree of Popcorn Scallops perfectly heralded the Augustine collection brimming with fun, feminine pieces with touches of frivolity.
Ponsonby-based menswear label Egoist showed their unique and modern take on men’s sportswear while we enjoyed a 72-hour braised coffee-infused lamb’s shoulder.
Celine Rita’s elegant collection of contrasting textures and mix and match must haves was admired by all, over a dessert of baked coconut cream and caramelized white chocolate.
The salon style show was MC’d by the witty and down to earth Jo Cotton looking divine in a cobalt blue peak shoulder dress from the Augustine collection.
Styled by the talented Lulu Wilcox, with hair by Servilles and make up by the fabulous Pink Ladies of Phoenix Cosmetics, the stunning models of Clyne management sported attainable flyaway top knots and deep orange lips with feline winged eyeliner.
Fashion Fusion by name and fashion fusion by nature, the afternoon was an enjoyable blend of innovative food and fashion that delighted all the senses.
