Group Show – Sabatini
NZ Fashion Week 22 September 2010

Sabatini does best what Sabatini does; luxe knit wear in easy to wear freeform shapes styled with strong Euro influences and contrasted with just a touch of slick leather and fur trims.

The show opened with classic Sabatini multi-stripe knit pieces with just a hint of metallic thread which also closed the show in the form of two full-length gowns featuring peek-a-boo style sheer panelling and mermaid shaping.

In between, the strength of the label showed through in extremely sharp tailored coats in a variety of textures and tones which were tied together styled with matching gators.

Keeping on trend they showed relaxed style pants and well cut zip embellished jackets that showed a sense of individuality while retaining a sense of wardrobe stability.

The black panelled leather body minidress was a step away from the safety of Sabatini’s signature look but worked well in conjunction with the diamond cutaway dress and legging, which may not be the most easy to wear for mere mortals but will surely be making editorial appearances.

Below: designers join models on stage in the finale.
