Hailwood AW15 at NZFW

Hailwood AW15 at New Zealand Fashion Week 2014

As the only show that gave us a toy car in the goodybag from sponsor Citroen, this show has a special place in my son’s heart! We watched a short film from Citroen at the start, and then the show began – with a glitzy, glam cast of girls, wearing my favourite eye makeup of the week.

Unicorns do exist

Mythical no more! They do exist, if only in the realms of fashion. Adrian Hailwood’s unicorn logo showed up as a blue embroidered motif on sweatshirts, and on the Unicorn poncho pictured below, in his latest AW15 collection. I also really liked the blue rose graphic on his Tudor rose knit tops which were styled with the Steve dark indigo jeans and Puma velvet straight leg jeans.

A focus on eveningwear

Bring on the night – this collection was strong on eveningwear, with sequin and lurex dresses reminiscent of mermaids in the Galaxy sequin dress.

Love for leopardprint

Leopard print was also a strong pattern, making an appearance requiring two handlers, a bodyguard and paparazzi cameras, blinged up in evening mode in a sequin leopard suit jacket.

Great Makeup

I really loved the beautiful eye makeup, my personal fave look of the week. Here’s the MAC face look, created by key makeup artist, the very fabulous Nicole Thompson.
