editor’s noten 

I love autumn/winter fashion – the opportunity to 

wrap yourself in luxurious fabrics, add layers and 

accessorise with hats and scarfs. This season we are 

seeing an array of scrumptious deep colours, including 

burgundy, mustard and navy, as well as texture with furs 

and embroidered prints. In this issue you will find our 

runway report that takes a look at all the international 

fashion weeks; New York, London, Milan and Paris, and 

highlights our top trends from the four great cities. 

I was lucky enough a have one-on-one interview with 

Emilia Wickstead during iD Dunedin Fashion Week. The 

Duchess of Cambridge’s favourite designer gives us her 

advice on how to dress in a chic, effortless way. We also 

step back into the past to look at some of the world’s 

most renowned fashion icons and which contemporary 

celebrities can match their style and glamour. This issue 

of Fashion brings both a local and international view on 

trends and styles for the new season. 

Enjoy your fashion fix,

Givenchy 

Leather 

Leather is the perfect transition fabric. It’s easy to wear and works with almost 

anything. We love this leather trench by Chole. A must-have for autumn. 

Roberto Cavalli 

Kaleidoscope Prints 

The seventies are alive again – or at least they were at 

Paris Fashion Week, with designers choosing a mixture of 

swirling prints, florals, metallics and paisleys. Combined 

with a variety of colourways, these garments created a 

kaleidoscope of colours and patterns. Givenchy stood 

out the most with its psychedelic collection. When it 

comes to mixing colours and prints this autumn, it would 

appear the advice from the fashion greats is: ‘forget the 

rules’. Embrace your psychedelic side and have fun this 

season. 

Polished 

British Style 

Looking for fashion inspiration? 

British model David Gandy is the 

man to watch. His style is polished, 

preppy, effortlessly masculine and 

very British, gaining the attention 

of international media that now 

watch his every move. Embracing 

tailored fashions, David shows us 

how to perfect the smart wardrobe 

by mixing and matching essential 

pieces with a twist, such as tucking a 

waistcoat into pants. 

Chloe 

Ruffles 

Ruffles have been 

reinvented this season. 

Gone are the girly frills 

and in their place are 

more structured, larger 

ruffles that create a 

powerful hemline. 

Think tiers of chiffon 

floating down.

the style has slightly changed.

runway reportn 

The marathon is over, four cities in one month New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week autumn/winter fashion weeks 

have enthralled us with an array of style and glamour. We take a look at the top trends from the runway. 

London 

London was preparing for a cold winter with lots 

of lush furs, knits and beautiful wintry colours. 

Amanda Wakeley’s soft caramel furs received 

rave reviews, as did Burberry’s military jackets. 

Kiwi-born Emilia Wickstead’s collection had anklelength 

dresses named the new sexy length.

The Big Apple was abuzz with every fashionista in town. Some of the top trends 

included romantic plaits with lush furs à la Rachel Zoe. Puma’s black lips were the talk 

of the town and Marc Jacobs’ almost Elizabethan use of furs, leather and deep forest 

colours made for a must-see show.

his use of textures, lace and embroidery. in contrast 

to this dolce & Gabbana were a pop of colour with 

their vibrant fabrics and military-inspired collars. 

Alberto Zambelli, stole the show with his use of 

gold metallic.

The city of love might have been last in the 

fashion marathon, but by no means the loser. 

As expected, the international fashion month 

went out with a spectacular performance. With 

the likes of Louis Vuitton, who had a mirrored 

catwalk, and Moncler Gamme Rouge’s pompominspired 

hats, there was no lack of style. iris Van

As the trend toward casual and comfort continues, knitwear 

dominates the winter runways. increasingly, people are looking for a wardrobe 

that’s comfortable, easy care and will multi-task for work and play. 

LOcaL lifestyle brand Untouched World 

has watched consumer needs change over 

time. “As our lives get busier, there’s a move 

towards slow, sustainable fashion that can 

be dressed up or down, and won’t be in one 

season and out the next,” says Untouched 

World cEO Peri Drysdale. “It’s not just about 

looks and comfort either, our clients also 

want to know the origins of what they’re 

wearing – what it’s made from and who 

made it.” 

The new Untouched World Winter ’16 

Collection embraces this philosophy 

delivering an exciting combination of paredback 

silhouettes with enduring style, and 

clever multi-tasking styles you can wear a 

bunch of ways (and they’re made locally from 

sustainable fabrics, of course!). 

Chunky knits make a comeback for both men 

and women, with mixed-gauge pieces and 

innovative knit structures creating interesting 

textural effects. Fine Merino layering comes 

in rich marled hues of ruby and blue, 

complemented with a refreshing splash of 

sunstone peach. 

The popular Energy Pants and Slouchy Pants 

for women are introduced in luxurious new 

fabrics, and the new Bliss Pant offers the 

guise of a dress pant with all the comfort of a 

pair of Merino trackies. 

Visit their pop-up store in Re:START, or see 

the full collection and try the tasty new bites 

at the Untouched World Flagship Store and 

Native Garden Café at 155 Roydvale Avenue.

NAVYn 

Navy is one of the most popular colours this season. Best of all, because it’s a darker shade of blue, it is both flattering and slimming, too. 

It’s also a better alternative to black, as it’s less harsh and carries an air of sophistication. Navy is most certainly the new black.

Mustardn 

Mustard yellow is a shade that suits almost every skin tone and hair colour, and with so many variations to choose 

from this season you are bound to find something that works for you. We love mustard prints for a bohemian look 

and colour blocking. A mustard dress with bright accessories, green or navy, work really well.

Five Minutes 

with eMilia wicksteadn 

New Zealand designer Emilia Wickstead – famous for dressing the Duchess of Cambridge – socialises in high society London circles, is a friend to the stars, 

and exhibits a style that is effortlessly chic, but with a twist. Editor Victoria Tait catches up with the fashionista while she is in her home country, 

to discuss her new collection, and the secret to looking sexy whilst still covering up. 

Photo of Emilia Wickstead - Robyn Wilson 

Can you tell me a little bit 

about what you are wearing? 

I love to collect pieces from every 

collection that I’m crazy about – this 

is a piece from my autumn/winter 

collection, two seasons ago. It’s our 

own geometric print made of wool 

– almost feels like a blanket, which is 

perfect for a cold day. 

What is your inspiration 

behind your own personal 

style? 

I find my own style is very organic 

and natural. I love the idea of being 

effortlessly chic, and the feeling of 

throwing on a red lippy and minimal 

makeup. I wear cuts that work for a 

woman’s body, so they don’t need to 

be tight fitting. I also love longer-length 

dresses and a sleeve. 

Do you use yourself as a muse 

when designing? 

I am always designing with myself in 

mind, that comes very naturally, but I 

am also designing for all women. I like 

to think there is a little bit of everything 

for everyone. I feel very comfortable in 

my clothes. 

Can you give us some tips on 

how to achieve a 

sexy, yet elegant, look? 

Sexy can be thinking outside the box, 

it doesn’t have to be a low V-neck or 

be short. What I love is that unique 

sophistication and creating a twist to 

a garment. A high front with an open 

back and sleeve, yet showing off the 

right curves, is sexy. 

I used to do every fitting in my business 

for a very long time, and this gave me 

the understanding of what women feel 

comfortable in. If you are in your own 

skin then that is sexy. 

My spring/summer 2016 range has 

dresses with balloon sleeves and small 

cut-outs on the stomach, which adds 

a little bit of twist. It’s about showing a 

little and not too much. 

In February you showed your 

new autumn/winter collection 

at London Fashion Week, what 

can we expect? 

It is a little darker and more moody 

than my spring/summer collection. The 

colour palette was inspired by Erwin 

Blumenfeld – he was an incredibly 

influential photographer. It was his 

series called ‘Fantasies’ where he 

photographed the aristocracy during 

the sixties in London. I’ve picked up 

colours and tones from this and used 

them in the collection. 

I played a lot with jersey; there is 

nothing easier or more comfortable 

than a jersey dress. I also have used a 

lot of denim, which was a harsh streetstyle 

way to show Emilia Wickstead 

silhouettes. I’ve already been wearing 

one of the dresses in denim – it feels 

very cool. Each season I try to introduce 

something new and fresh, it’s the 

biggest challenge as a designer.

How To CHeCk If 

Your SuIT fITSn 

It’s hard to make a great suit look good if it doesn’t fit properly. 

Follow our top tips to ensure you get the right fit and look polished this autumn. 

• Ensure the shoulder pads end with your shoulders. 

• The chest and lapels of the suit should contour the shape 

of your chest, but should not be too tight or too loose. The 

lapels should not bulge, they should lie flat on the chest. 

• A jacket is too tight if an “X” is created around a fastened top 

button. 

• Check where your buttons are sitting. The top button of a 

two-button suit should not fall below your navel – note that 

this is the middle button of a three-button suit. 

• The sleeves should hang straight from the shoulder to the 

wrist. To test this, see if it falls where the base of your thumb 

meets your wrist. 

• Between a quarter and a half inch of shirt cuff should be 

visible. 

• The overall look of your trousers should be trim but not 

tight. Keep in mind that the pockets and the front of the

Mark van Roosmalen is one of the country’s few remaining bespoke tailors. 

A fifth-generation tailor, van Roosmalen has been outfitting discerning 

men and women for the past 35 years. He has an eye for the creative 

and the panache to create a wide range of elegant and 

striking tailored garments with meticulous precision. 

A CusToM-MAdE garment from MvR 

Tailoring is a truly wise investment that 

you will turn to year after year, as nothing 

compares with a garment made specifically 

for your unique body shape. 

Explaining the difference between bespoke 

and made-to-measure garments available 

from his Fendalton studio, van Roosmalen 

says, “Essentially, a bespoke piece involves 

the same process as made-to-measure, but is 

entirely hand-crafted. From the pattern to the 

finished masterpiece, all the construction and 

finishing details are made completely by hand.” 

MvR Tailoring uses a range of luxurious, 

quality fabrics from super-fine Italian wools 

and leather to classic English tweeds, and 

offers a full women’s wear service, too. 

With van Roosmalen’s years of experience 

and expertise, his tailoring will imbue you 

with sublime confidence. 

Contact Mark van Roosmalen for a 

consultation or for The suit doctor’s 

alteration service, which ranges from invisible 

mending and buttonholes, to remodeling 

and renovating vintage garments.

EMMA’S AT OXFORD 

QUALITY MERINO FASHION 

AND BOOKSn 

WHILE Emma’s at Oxford is predominantly 

a bookstore, it’s also your destination for 

an ever-growing and changing range of 

merino garments under the Merinomink 

and Untouched World labels. 

Owner Emma Gillard left the ‘big smoke’ 

of Auckland to open her store in June 

2007. What started with books and gifts 

has continued to evolve, with Merinomink 

accessories quickly becoming one of the 

star attractions. About six year ago, merino 

gloves, scarves and wraps were added to 

shelves and their popularity has led to the 

extensive collection on offer today. “The 

products are simply the best quality. The 

styles don’t date, the garments don’t pill; 

they are investment pieces you will wear 

for years,” says Emma. “We all own, wear and 

just love them.” And so does everyone else: 

“Customers are coming back each season to 

see what’s new and indulge in a new piece 

– or three – or buy as gifts.” 

Ponchos are another fashion accessory for 

which Emma’s has become known. “We’re 

known as the Poncho Queens by the sales 

team at Merinomink!” Emma says with a 

laugh. “In fact, our best-selling colour is 

a rich navy blue called Zephyr and we 

were told we were the third biggest seller 

in Australasia of that particular line last 

year.” Not bad going for an independent 

bookstore in a country town. 

Booklovers will love the large, diverse and 

highly recommended range of literature 

available in this picturesque country setting. 

“People regularly say they haven’t seen an 

offering such as ours in a long time,” says 

Emma proudly. 

Emma’s at Oxford is currently located in 

a beautiful art-deco building in Oxford’s 

Main Street, however, come the end of 

May, you’ll find them but a few doors down 

while the building undergoes earthquake 

strengthening and expansion. “I’m really 

looking forward to the end of the year and 

being back in a bigger and better building 

and really being able to showcase what we 

have on offer,” says Emma. 

A place to find warm, stylish accessories 

and something satisfying to read sounds 

simply idyllic. 

MARMALADE 

A UNIQUE FASHION 

WHAT a treat to come across a unique 

fashion boutique in a small rural town, less 

than an hour from Christchurch! Marmalade 

Clothing and Curiosities in Oxford has 

become well-known for its natural fibre 

policy – only stocking garments made from 

premium fabrics such as bamboo, modal, 

organic cotton and New Zealand merino. 

Locals love the affordable range and people 

from all over Canterbury hurry to get their 

hands on the latest arrivals. Owner Jessica 

Fearnley-Campbell only ever stocks one or 

two of each size, in each style, so you have to 

be in quick! 

Jessica is excited about the new winter 

collection now in stock. Her passion for 

New Zealand made means the latest ranges 

from Christchurch brands Chalkydigits and 

Tava, amongst others, are always in stock. 

Marmalade is also the exclusive stockist in 

New Zealand of fair-trade brands Nomads 

Clothing and Braintree Clothing. Nomads 

having recently been voted as ‘best for 

ethical fashion’ by the UK’s newspaper The 

Independent. 

One look that features strongly this season 

is ‘70s boho chic. This makes a comeback 

with corduroy pinafores, peasant blouses 

and floaty dresses being wardrobe staples. 

Layering is also another key trend – easily 

created with kimono-style short-sleeved 

jackets. Meanwhile, rusty reds, smokey greys 

and a hint of mustard make up just one 

colour palette in a shop full of rich colour. 

BOUTIQUEn 

Clothing is displayed alongside a large 

selection of New Zealand-made and fairtrade 

costume jewellery, accessories and the 

‘famous’ bamboo socks – perfect gift ideas 

when it comes to thinking about Mother’s 

day next month!

Past and Present 

Fashion iconsn 

We are so familiar with the fashion icons of the past, such as Katharine Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Bridget Bardot. 

Their style and glamour instantly reminds us of a time where elegance and sensuality was key. 

We take a look back at their signature styles and what current celebrities will follow in their fashion footsteps. 

Katharine Hepburn 

Known for her tomboy style, Katharine Hepburn made trousers 

a fashion statement for women. She was a natural beauty who 

didn’t fuss over her hair and makeup, keeping her look minimal. 

Hepburn’s classic look included simple, button-down blouses, 

sharply tailored blazers and polished loafers. She was full of 

attitude, confidence and sex appeal. 

Signature look 

Wide-legged pants, loafers, button-downs, 

sharp blazers. 

Modern MuSe 

Cate Blanchett. They are so similar that Blanchett 

even played Hepburn in the film Aviator. 

Both women have an air of confidence about them 

that shows though their style.

Academy Awards

Scarlett Johansson at the 

Opening Night of LA Shorts -Shutterstock 

Marilyn Monroe 

The true Hollywood glamour star, with an ability 

to own a sexy, sultry and yet irresistibly vulnerable 

vibe. Monroe wore what are now considered 

some of the most iconic outfits of all time, 

including the billowing white halter-neck dress 

and her pink satin strapless dress with operalength 

gloves. Her clothes were fitted and tight to 

show off her beautiful curves, always a high heel, 

but surprising very minimal jewels. 


Skin-tight wiggle dresses, high-waisted jeans, 

capri pants, oversized sweaters, 

halter-neck dresses, high heels. 

Modern MuSe 

Scarlett Johansson. She is most definitely our 

modern-day Monroe, with her blonde hair, 

curvy figure and ability to make 

everything she wears look sexy.

Brigitte Bardot 

This French icon was known as a model, actress 

and muse to Andy Warhol. She was the woman 

who made the bikini famous, through her film 

Manina, la fille sans voiles (The Girl in the Bikini), 

1952. She also started a trend of knitwear with 

a wide neck, which exposes both shoulders, 

later termed the ‘Bardot neckline’. She was also 

known for her flat shoes and is said to have asked 

designer Rose Repetto to make shoes as light as 

ballet shoes – this was the beginning 

of the ballerina flats. 


Bardot neckline sweaters, white scoop-neck 

T-shirts, cropped jeans, ballet flats, wide black 

headbands, bikinis, short shorts.

made the bikini famous, but Elle MacPherson 

showed us how it should look.

Diana Ross 

Diana Ross symbolises the 1970s, 

disco-era fashion. With her slinky, 

draped gowns, fur stoles, widebrimmed 

hats, angel sleeves and 

sequins galore. Ross always looked 

like the disco diva.

Jackie Kennedy 

Growing up between New York and an 

East Hampton estate, Jackie was well educated 

in fashion, poise and etiquette. On her arrival 

to the White House, Jackie hired Hollywood 

designer Oleg Cassini to create her wardrobe, 

she pulled pieces from Dior, Givenchy and 

Chanel. During her time as The First Lady, 

Jackie’s style was sensible heels, gloves and 

empire-waist gowns. Later in life, when 

she moved to New York, her style changed 

quite drastically, but still retained the 

polished glamour. 


Sleeveless A-line dresses, low heels, cleanly 

tailored suits, oversized sunglasses, wide-leg 

jeans, pearls.

Strong SophiSticationn 

A swipe of dark lipstick and a low sleek ponytail is the big trend for this season. 

The look is about strength, elegance and sophistication. Follow our tips on how to achieve the look. 

Hair 

The first step is deciding where 

to put your part. Centre or 

side-parted, each creates an 

elegant and polished look. 

Once you’ve decided on a 

part, smooth out your hair 

with straighteners. 

Add some shine serum. Be 

careful to focus the serum 

from the mid-lengths to the 

ends, as you don’t want greasy 

roots. 

Use a clear elastic or hairband 

that matches the colour of your hair. 

Carefully gather hair into a low ponytail. Place 

the pony at the nape of your neck and secure it 

with the elastic. 

Finish by spraying some hairspray onto the 

bristles of your brush to smooth out any 

remaining frizz. 

Lips 

Line the lips prior to applying lipstick to prevent bleeding 

or feathering. 

Fill in lips with your oxblood lip colour (we love MAC 

lipstick in Diva). Use a lip brush to clean up the area 

around the lips with a concealer.

the 3-Step plan to Make 

healthy habitS Stickn 

Health and Wellness Coach Annabelle Matson gives us the means to lead a healthier life. 

Add, modify and delete – it’s as easy as ABC. 

When it comes to eating habits and making 

improvements to our health in general, trying to 

change absolutely everything about our lifestyle 

overnight very rarely works. We often think: “If I can’t 

eat/do things perfectly, I shouldn’t bother at all.” As a 

recovering perfectionist, I totally get that. However, 

this clearly doesn’t support success. It just keeps us 

stuck right where we are, on the dieting rollercoaster, 

never seeing results for the long term. 

I always say to my clients, “over time not overnight”. 

We want to do things gradually, because that’s 

what results in permanent change. Why weight loss 

and many health programmes often don’t work is 

because we go from eating whatever we want, to 

restricting everything. 

So, instead of drastically restricting everything, 

use my three-step tool – add, modify and delete. 

Pick one thing you want to add 

Pick one thing you want to modify 

Pick one thing you want to delete 

FOR ExAMPLE 

Add: A morning meditation to centre you for 

the day. 

Modify: Refined sugar intake. Alcohol is a huge 

source of sugar – so instead of drinking during the 

week, stick to a few just on the weekends. 

Delete: Eating after 8pm. 

Commit to the add, modify, delete plan for 30 days. 

Once that all becomes a habit – start a new add, 

modify, delete plan. 

When you do steps incrementally like that, it creates 

new habits. You won’t feel overwhelmed and it feels 

really manageable. Like magic, it all starts to become 

a lifestyle that you LOVE and that are you motivated 

to sustain.

Let’s talk lips with Koru Clinic 

The features on a person’s face can change or determine how they 

are perceived, and we are all subconsciously affected by these cues. 

Every time we see a face, we make judgments on that person’s 

character and personality, and all this happens instantly and 

automatically in our brains. 

Years spent talking, chewing, pouting, 

smoking or smiling can lead to lines and 

wrinkles around the lips. Lip fullness 

can also be an indicator of aging, as 

time spent biting or pursing the lips 

can lead to deflated, thin lips over time. 

Lips are also especially vulnerable to 

environmental effects, as the skin on the 

lips is less than a third of the thickness of 

the skin on the rest of your face. 

Many women really want to improve 

the appearance of their lips but are 

understandably very scared about 

looking like a duck, especially after the 

all too common publicised disasters 

affecting some unfortunate celebrities. 

These days we all recognise women are 

looking for a natural appearance rather 

than looking like a “Kardashian”. 

Dermal fillers for the lips are one of 

the most popular cosmetic medicine 

treatments available, and are a very quick 

and easy way to dramatically improve 

your look. They typically last between 

12 – 14 months, and are hyaluronic 

acid based. Hyaluronic acid is a natural 

component of the skin, meaning the risk 

of adverse reactions to the procedure is 

very, very small. Recovery time is usually 

around 1 day. 

There are generally 3 types of 

requests for lip fillers at Koru Clinic, 

clients who want to: 

1. Boost Lip Volume 

2. Minimise smokers lines 

3. Define the lip border & reduce 

lipstick bleed 

Younger patients tend to go for larger 

lip volumes, whilst more mature women 

want a more natural lip augmentation. 

At Koru Clinic we only recommend 

using hyaluronic acid based fillers with 

high safety profiles, and after assessing 

each persons lips will decide on the most 

appropriate filler for the augmentation. 

Dr Jefferies is a cosmetic Physician 

working at Koru Clinic. Call 372 3589 

for an appointment to chat about a lip 

augmentation.

A Winter SAnctuAryn 

With the colder weather approaching, it’s time to retreat to our favourite warm haven. 

The Colombo – with its fusion of fashion, interiors, beauty, food and entertainment – is the perfect winter sanctuary. 

We speak with managing director Caroline Cooper Dixon to find out 

what’s happening this season at The Colombo. 

Innovative concept and flagship stores 

As well as a mixture of both international and New Zealand influences, 

The Colombo offers a diverse range of choices from Andrea Moore to 

some of our nation’s leading Dunedin and Wellington young designer 

brands in the Collective. There is a style and store to suit everyone’s 

needs. 

This season colour trends – burgundy and navy – have been making 

big news on the international catwalks across the globe this spring and 

summer. So, with New Zealand being in the forefront of the coming 

season’s fashions we naturally see them adapted into our autumn and 

winter closets. 

Create your own winter sanctuary 

Depending on your style and budget there is an incredible range when 

combining Repertoire and Redcurrent. Repertoire has an exquisite 

collections of homewares, while Redcurrent boasts unique giftwares and 

a delicate but beautiful range of soft furnishings. Nordic Chill and Abode 

fill our homes with their sleek Scandinavian styles. If contemporary is 

more to your liking, try Industria or the Collective. Looking for something 

unique? Bolt Of Cloth offers over 800 contemporary fabrics and, for the 

DIY person in the household, check out the expansive Spotlight store. 

Take Ten or Take an Hour 

The Colombo’s individual beauty stores offer some great packages, 

depending on how much time you have. Pop in for a manicure or shape 

and polish at the nail bar or you can also indulge in the beautiful hot 

stone massage from Embrayce Skin and Beauty. The girls’ knowledge 

when it comes to beauty is extensive, so if there’s ever an availability then 

you must indulge! 

For The Love Of Food 

George Bernard Shaw said, “There is no sincerer love than the love of 

food.” Warm your belly and your heart this winter with treats from The 

Colombo food emporium. 

J’aime Les Macarons have a new winter menu and for cold days don’t 

forget the hot steamed dumplings at Potsticker Dumpling Bar. Pure Pulp 

is now Gre3n Juice Bar, and offers an inticing paleo, gluten-free and 

dairy-free menu. Our favourite ingredients are super greens, cayenne 

pepper, flaxseed, chia seeds and Coyo yoghurt, along plenty of 

antioxidant-rich foods.
