FASHION STYLIST<br />
One piece you’re buying this spring?<br />
A blazer is at the top of the list – it is perfect<br />
for our four-seasons-in-one-day climate. I<br />
love how easy it is to dress up or down.<br />
What’s the shoe and bag to buy now?<br />
Slides or a mule if you prefer a heel –<br />
functional for the impending warmer<br />
weather whilst not comprising style. As for<br />
bags, I love a large tote bag for work (needs<br />
to fit an iPad, magazine and shoes) and for<br />
off-duty.<br />
Favourite look you’ve styled to date?<br />
I love when we have our mini in-store events.<br />
We use staff as our models and take looks<br />
from our fashion publications and bring an<br />
everyday approach to cater for all ages and<br />
styles and shapes.<br />

BUYING MANAGER<br />
What’s the most fun part of your job?<br />
It’s amazing when you discover up-andcoming<br />
talent and it takes off and sells<br />
really well.<br />
Most challenging?<br />
Continuing to evolve with the fast-paced<br />
world of retail. Innovation and a constantly<br />
changing environment means our buyers<br />
can never stay still. This, however, keeps our<br />
buying team motivated, excited and engaged<br />
to find the next opportunity.<br />
Trademark accessory?<br />
Deadly Ponies Rainbow Dance Scarf from<br />
the Len Lye collection. Versatile, bright and it<br />
is a piece of art!<br />
What does BFW give your buyers?<br />
The opportunity to showcase the latest<br />
collections in an entertaining and inspiring way.<br />

FASHION COORDINATOR<br />
Who are your style/fashion icons?<br />
If I really had to name names, Olivia Palermo<br />
and Ashley Olsen can mix-and-match and layer<br />
like no others. I love pairing great classics with<br />
fun, contemporary pieces.<br />
What’s your must-have piece for the season?<br />
I love pieces you can style in different ways.<br />
Coming into spring I’m on the lookout for<br />
dresses I can pair with sneakers and layer over<br />
a tee or wear with a bomber. I also can’t say<br />
no to an interesting earring.<br />
What can BFW attendees most look<br />
forward to?<br />
We’re particularly excited to have some of<br />
our amazing NZ designers involved. Our<br />
customers will have the opportunity to meet<br />
them and see their latest collections.
