A top first day, kicked off by World's brilliant, exciting and so very spangling, so very World show. How good it was to see that much sparkle and style in New Zealand, let alone at a Fashion Week. Go you twinkling things!
We are on deadline so we missed a couple of shows, apologies for that, but we did manage to get around a fair bit and look at the fashion on offer in the stalls and thoroughfares of Air New Zealand Fashion Week itself. Sony Black Eye at Air NZ Fashion Week is our opportunity to hunt down the fashion and personal style of those attending. People like you. We'll be wandering around with our Sony Alpha's all this week and we have Sony Walkman's for the best dressed, so get your gears on. Celebrate ANZFW by wearing something with enough punch to give us a Sony Black Eye. Here are our Fashion and Beauty Director Rachael Churchward's choices of the day. Rachael chooses people she finds with their own individual style, whether it be from Portmans, Louis Vuitton, a vintage store, Helen Cherry or your Mum's wardrobe. For her, it is about how you wear your look, not just the label. Sony Black Eye at Air NZ Fashion Week is about capturing individuality.
First up, our favourite photographer slash stylist slash hot chick and tonight, stylist for Nom D. Karen Inderbitzen-Waller wears: Kate Sylvester cardigan and necklace, Nom D scarf and top, Miu Miu belt, Levi's jeans and very cool Zambesi shoes. We love her effortless and casually chic style. You gotta have it, you can't buy it.
