Juliette Hogan AW15 at New Zealand Fashion Week 2014
There’s nothing wrong with waiting for a lady – and this was the longest wait so far – and it was soon apparent why. The stage was turned on its side in theatre-style, with guests along one wall, and a black curtain along the other. The curtain pulled apart, to reveal a live band, Sunken Seas, playing as models walked the long narrow space.
Garments were pared-back and elegant but with a less girly feel than in past collections. Entitled ‘Take It Or Leave It’, it is inspired by her muse going to the streets of New York and thus has a slightly more grown up and less whimsical edge to it. She has a rougher edge and a tougher attitude. Even the florals are on a black background. Tee-shirts are cut in leather, and wispy lace skirts are teamed with slouchy ribbed knits.
I loved so many pieces, but my top favourites were the maxi lace skirt, the brown floral dress with sequin flowers, and the floral jumpsuit.

Key makeup artist Josie Wignall says the inspiration was a “New York city girl with a take it or leave it attitude and a modern take on a smoky eye buffed out and smudgy.”
