Girl band spotted at silo park; The Blond Mummas

Is it a girl band spotted at Silo Park called The Blond Mummas? No, it’s Nicky of thestylehighclubnz, myself, and Trudi Bennett collecting our delegate bags from registration for a busy week ahead. Luckily the rain held off long enough for us to race in and out and get home to school pick up.

At ANZ Events Centre, where the on-site shows are held.

The first section echoed an opening tableau of silver photographer’s reflectors – what looked like silver leather in deliciously tailored jackets, and out there silver boots – an important foil to some relatively sensible shapes elsewhere, says Julie Roulston, in her review.
