K Road Presents

 K Road Presents is a show I look forward to every year. I love K'Rd and its inhabitants and I love the creativity that comes with the territory. The show this year was a bit different, but still very K'rd nonetheless. The video installations varied for each label, and I especially found the Lost and Led Astray to be relatable and so freaking awesome. I covered it for Thread NZ and stole the image from the article as well as I only did Instastories and forgot to save them. Day 3 feels for sure.

Lela Jacobs - Being Idle Being

Lela Jacobs was so goddamn magical and I'm not sure if I'll ever get over it. This wasn't just a show, this was an experience. I left the silos after feeling like all my senses were just so alive. Anyway. I have no words. Well. I do. You can read more here. Photo from Megan Robinson of Thread NZ. Thank you to the team from Plantae for the invite. 

Mitchell Vincent Collection

Mitchell is one of my most favourite people in the world and has long been a dear friend of mine so to say that I'm proud of him is an understatement. Last year, I saw firsthand the amount of work, thought, and heart dedicated to making a runway show work when I helped him out behind the scenes and it's an experience I'll always be grateful for. This time around I was back on the other side of things again, writing about the show for Thread NZ. You can read my full review here. Photo by Annupam. 

New Generation Group Show 2017

Tuesday was all a go for New Zealand Fashion Week Day 2 and boy was she a busy one. I had back to back shows in the afternoon with the last show finishing late in the evening. I was staying closer to the city and as I came home that night, I was buzzing. I had all these stories to write and I aimed for the quickest turnaround possible. The New Generation show was my second one for the afternoon. After rushing from Katherine Victoria, grabbing a quick coffee, and meeting new people, I was on my merry way to this show.

Mountfort

Dreamland. The word echoed louder in my head with every model stepping out the runway last monday night. Mountfort's debut effort is every bit dreamy as it is functional. I'm so excited to be writing for Thread again and loving that going to events like these are now way more accessible for me. You can read the whole article here. I found out this weekend that this article was this month's most read piece on Thread so thank you so much X

New Zealand Fashion Week: Favourite Memories Through The Years

With New Zealand Fashion Week just around the corner, I thought I'd reflect on my favourite personal moments from it throughout the years. It's been loads of fun so far and I think a lot of what makes it such a memorable experience for me are the people I've shared these weeks with.

I particularly remember skipping class and piling into a car with friends. We did a cute little roadtrip from Hamilton, and stopped by Mcdonalds at Huntly on the way because food > fashion. I think this was my first ever fashion week since moving to New Zealand in late 2009, and as I sat at the VIP lounge drinking all the bubbles I could (I believe I called it the 'bubs' on the blog too. Cringe ensues.), I not only drank the free booze, but drank in the moment as well. Also note this photo is very 2013 Instagram filter and I love it.
