Day Two

As the lights fade on day two of Wellington fashion week the NZ Style Collective team are going to bed with big fat smiles plastered on our faces.

We began the day with vanilla blossom tea and delectable sweet treats at the wfw high tea. This was, I do believe, the most beautiful lunch ever (official) and a fabulous chance to get to know some of Wellington's fashionable folk. After getting suitably caffeine and sugared up we spent the afternoon checking out this windy, beautiful city before making our way to Massey for the evening's group show.

Group show one was amazing. Fact. It was a real testament to our creative capital and its hot bed of talent. Honestly the diversity just blew me away. Each designer showcased pieces that were current, intelligent and simply beautiful. As I write this (on my wee phone...) the highlights and stand out moments have to be Moochi's neon colour pops, Mardle's range of prints and texture, and the sheer drama created by Taylor. Think fur skull caps, capes and striking black and white silhouettes. Amazing.

There's so much more I could say but its late and illustrating the shows awaits me. Nite for now, Beth xxx
