  • One Dress, Two Ways

    One Dress, Two Ways

    Not usually one to gravitate towards red, I found myself drawn to the gorgeous print Ruby designer, Deanna Didovich dreamed up for her sister. Marina was attending a high profile wedding in Palm Springs and asked her sister to create something for her.

    The dress, appropriately named, the Marina Gown, became the basis for Ruby’s Spring ’16 Collection, No Drama. It was featured in Harper’s Bazaar along with a myriad of other publications. Rather than donning a full-length gown, which might have been slightly ostentatious even for Fashion Week, I opted for the shorter Verse 1.0 mini dress and decided to style it two ways. The collection was inspired by enduring female friendships and the endless support they bring. I’ve always held my female friendships very dear, both with my two sisters and my girl gang around the globe. On that note: thank you to my dear friend, Carmen Huter who took these photographs for me and continually inspires me both professionally and personally.

    Much like the collection itself, Verse 1.0 is certainly a no fuss option that transitions easily from daytime to night. Read more about the Spring ’16 collection.

    Thanks for reading! For my next post, I’ll be talking about what to do in between NZFW shows.

  • Into the Blue

    Into the Blue

    Yesterday kicked off the first day of iD Fashion Week in Dunedin. The opening event, held at Otago Polytechnic, gave designers, sponsors, photographers, and media the opportunity to mingle before the shows get underway. I enjoyed the emerging talent designs on display by local students and putting my networking skills to use.

    After a long bus ride from Christchurch to Dunedin, I decided on a comfy, loose pair of trousers in powder blue from Club Monaco. Underneath my navy coat, I’m wearing a camisole by Julian Danger, one of my favourite new New Zealand designers; who will be showing her collection later this week.

    Exploring the beautiful city of Dunedin has been incredible. I’m looking forward to sharing my favourite spots with you soon!
