NZFW Begins!

Today, New Zealand Fashion Week begins. 

It will kick off tonight with the first showing of the designer selection show (a show of selected outfits from a huge range of designers that is repeated once a day), followed by the opening party for media, celebs, VIP guests etc. 

I received my backstage passes yesterday and am gearing myself up for a full-on week! Tonight's show should be a great little teaser to get everyone in the mood 

Tomorrow kicks off the first day of back to back individual designer shows, with Twentysevennames to open.

Wee!

Twenty-Seven Names Flagship Store Opens in Wellington!

Yesterday morning, NZ cult-brand twenty-seven names opened the doors to their first store. An ex-gallery space on Vivian Street in Wellington, the shop's beautiful layout is an ode to the girls behind the brand, Rachel and Anjali's talent. With backgrounds in fine arts and fashion respectively, the result is a harmony of both arts; Rachel's graduate fine arts project of a ceramic lion and unicorn features as the centrepiece of the space, surrounded by framed sketches and embroidery pieces, graphic rugs and raw concrete floors. Not to mention the clothes. 

The current range is separated by print, matched with pillows on the back wall - one of which I bought shortly after they opened (as their very first ever customer!).

This evening the designers stayed late, inviting anyone in to have a glass of wine and have a chat to celebrate the opening. I had a great chat to Rachel about the current industry, where the brand has came from and where it's going, and what inspires them to keep growing. Coming from a fine arts background, Rachel said she didn't specifically look for an ex-gallery when looking for a space for the store, but jumped at the chance when one came available. The opportunity to sell their clothes in an environment that gave the same experience as a gallery and truly showcased the clothes was an ideal.

Customs Brew Bar!

Took my daily visit down to Customs Brew Bar on Ghuznee Street (Wellington) today to give their new Costa Rican brew a go. Brewed in a Chemex, the coffee had delicious peachy and caramely flavours. Yummy!

Customs Brew Bar is located on Ghuznee Street in Wellington, between Cuba & Marion Street.
