BLEND: Elaine Jiang works on her end of year collection, Soft Shell. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN Fusion of east and west in designer’s garments • By Annabelle Dick ARA INSTITUTE of Canterbury student Elaine Jiang is on a mission to mix up the local fashion scene with her eastern meets western designs. The 33-year-old was one of 12 students to showcase their collection at Ballantynes Fashion Week last Saturday. Mrs Jiang is in her third year of study towards a Bachelor of Design degree in fashion technology and design. “I like making things by hand and because of my character I’m not very talkative, so I thought I’ll go into an industry where I don’t have to talk to many people. That way I could do things by myself instead of relying on a team or other people,” she said. Her garments have a strong Japanese-influence and her pieces are mostly targeted towards the modern eastern woman. “I’m Asian and we are shorter so the silhouette of my garments are different because eastern and western bodies curve differently. So my clothes better fitting for us . . . they are quite loose, relaxed and oversized.” Originally from China, Mrs Jiang moved to New Zealand to be with her Christchurch-based husband and pursue a career in fashion. She moved to Christchurch on February 19, 2011 – just three days before the earthquake that would change the city forever. “That was my first experience of New Zealand. I was really jet-lagged due to the time difference, but I was planning on going to the city to see the Christ Church Cathedral the day of the quake. I was lucky because I was changing my clothes just before leaving and then the earthquake happened . . . I didn’t get to see any of Christchurch,” Mrs Jiang said. While her cultural roots play a big part in her aesthetic, her move to Christchurch has influenced the garments she creates. “When I came here, I realised people are a lot more relaxed than in China. I want to keep my style from my background, but I’d like to fuse them both and design items that Kiwis would like,” she said. Mrs Jiang is now busy working on her end of year collection Soft Shell, which is based on a series of photographs of some of the poorest children in 1900s’ England. The collection also includes elements of Japanese fashion she noticed while overseas earlier this year. “I’ve put old-England and new-Japanese together for my collection,” she said. Mrs Jiang plans on launching her own label after graduating. We have showcased the new ivyblu striped off the shoulder ‘Brenda top’ ($169) with Vargo ‘Unfold Bloomer’ pants ($189) This look is classic and sophisticated and the off the shoulder style is more flattering than you may imagine. Also photographed is the Vassalli Jean skirt in Barcelona colourway ($119) with Vassalli white tee ($95) and Vassalli washed denim jacket ($145). This is a great casual weekend look that can take you anywhere. Vassalli are famous for their comfortable well fitting pants but are increasingly expanding their repertoire and offering much more besides pants. The stunning Vargo outfit photographed shows the always striking black and white combination. The off white jacket is a perfect style to team up with dresses, skirts or pants. ($245) The striking Vargo “Execute midi” skirt is a stunning new take on a classic pencil style and is very flattering with its assymetric hemline. ($175). Under the jacket is the “leather look ‘Revive Cami ‘ ($119) Another pretty ivyblu ‘Annie’ dress ($179) is pictured here in red & cream stripes with lovely lace detail sleeves. This gorgeous wee dress can be dressed up or down and is a nice easy fit being shift shape. Dress it up with sandals or down with sneakers and you are ready to go! All of the garments pictured are available right now at Viva La moda. Come and support local! -Kim Taylor All of the fashion featured in the images is available from Viva La Moda Rolleston Shop 12, Rolleston Square, Rolleston. Phone 347 1151
