NOTE<br />

Welcome to the spring/summer<br />

issue of <strong>Fashion</strong><br />

Spring trends usher in the sense of renewal and new-found energy. They give us a new<br />

lease on life as we pack away the heaviness of winter and replace our wardrobes with<br />

light, bright spring colours.<br />

In this issue of <strong>Fashion</strong>, we bring you the best of both national and international fashion<br />

trends for the season with our runway reports for both women and men. Embrace bright<br />

yellows, fresh whites and relaxed looks.<br />

We have a chat with Jenny Joblin from Federation about her career, new range and first<br />

time showcasing at New Zealand <strong>Fashion</strong> Week since 2009.<br />

Keeping you on trend, we break down some of the season’s must-follow styles, including<br />

the sexy off-the-shoulder look and bold stripes that are worn any which way. It’s said<br />

that green is the new black, so follow our style tips on how to pull this off on page 17. Or<br />

indulge in the femininity of lovely lace on page 21.<br />

Accessorising is the key to any new look, but at what price? We take a look at the world’s<br />

most expensive handbag, the Hermès Birkin, and its surprisingly humble beginnings, along<br />

with all the key facts you need to know before considering the year-long waiting list for one<br />

of your own.<br />

Beauty runs from the inside out. In our beauty section, we encourage you to take the time<br />

to give yourself a facial workout with Clemency Alice’s top tips, show you how to groom<br />

your brows to perfection, and provide a step-by-step guide to creating a ’70s-inspired<br />

hairstyle.<br />

Enjoy this issue of <strong>Fashion</strong>,<br />

LISt<br />

8 things to know<br />

this season<br />

2.<br />

Get A One-piece<br />

this season it’s all about the<br />

reinvented one-pieces. Chic<br />

designs featuring peek-a-boo<br />

mesh inserts, sultry bustier<br />

silhouettes, and graffiti prints<br />

have turned what was once<br />

thought of as old,<br />

new again.<br />

Dolce & Gabbana<br />

1.<br />

Change How To Wear Your Handbag<br />

Designers at New York <strong>Fashion</strong> Week started a new trend of wearing a short strapped<br />

shoulder bag across your body, rather than over the shoulder. the shorter the strap the<br />

better, as the bag should be tucked just under your armpit.<br />

3.<br />

Buy White<br />

Chinos<br />

the white denim and<br />

chino trend is worn<br />

best with accessories<br />

like dusty brown boots<br />

and belts. Match with<br />

4.<br />

traditional cable knits and<br />

patterned sweaters for<br />

preppy takes on vintage<br />

cricket attire.<br />

Find A <strong>Fashion</strong> App<br />

With so many great apps out there it’s<br />

hard to whittle it down to a favourite.<br />

Our advice is to select a few that will<br />

aid you in perfecting your wardrobe.<br />

We love ‘ASAP54’ – simply snap a<br />

pic of an outfit, and the app will track<br />

down where to buy it. Or try ‘Keep<br />

Shopping’, which is the world’s first<br />

universal shopping cart, putting all<br />

of your purchases from different sites<br />

into one simple checkout.<br />

White Head-to-Toe<br />

one of the most noticeable trends at this year’s new Zealand<br />

<strong>Fashion</strong> week was the use of head-to-toe white. typically<br />

reserved for the spring/summer collections, this trend was seen<br />

throughout many collections. a style tip to remember when<br />

embracing this trend is it’s all about how you wear it: mix<br />

textures, layer multiple pieces, and use various shades.<br />

BIrdS VS.<br />

BEES<br />

Vanessa Ortynsky catches up with<br />

Jenny Joblin as Federation returns to New Zealand<br />

<strong>Fashion</strong> Week with its AW17 Collection.<br />

Every year, the New Zealand fashion industry gathers for a week of international<br />

and local talent. Established and emerging designers showcase their Autumn/<br />

Winter 2017 collections to media delegates; magazine editors, bloggers, buyers<br />

and the occasional reality show celebrity. New Zealand <strong>Fashion</strong> Week (NZFW) days<br />

and nights are filled with shows, both onsite at the Viaduct Events Centre and at<br />

offsite locations ranging from galleries (Twenty-Seven Names) to gentlemen’s clubs<br />

(Miss Crabb). Both on the runway and on the streets, photographers are at the ready to<br />

capture the trends worn by New Zealand’s well-heeled fashionistas.<br />

After a seven-year hiatus, one show on everybody’s radar was streetwear label<br />

Federation. Edgy yet emphatically wearable, Federation has a dedicated following<br />

of late teens and early 20-year-olds. I sat down with creative director, Jenny Joblin<br />

before her Wednesday night show to talk about her collection, “Birds Vs. Bees”, her<br />

impressive collection of heels, and favourite Auckland spots.<br />

When the <strong>Fashion</strong> Week committee approached Jenny, she felt “this was an<br />

opportunity to bring Federation back to its roots and focus on what’s important<br />

to us”. Concentrating more on the New Zealand market, it made sense to show<br />

where it all began, in Auckland.<br />

As with previous lines, Birds Vs. Bees – Federation’s autumn/winter 2017<br />

collection – draws upon cultural references, art and literature. “Without<br />

Googling it, I was always curious as to the etymology of the term, ‘the birds<br />

and the bees’. Why do we say it?” The collection is a play on this common<br />

saying and an extension of the brand itself – juxtaposing tough street style<br />

with beautiful composition and construction.<br />

Jenny designs for the women in her life, women she knows. “I still look<br />

back at previous collections and I still like them. I’ve always been drawn<br />

to comfort. I have a beautiful, mostly untouched collection of heels in my<br />

closet.”<br />

An Auckland native, Jenny is strongly connected to the City of Sails. “Our<br />

paradise at home is the perfect retreat. We also love the Blind Basket Café,<br />

which is located right next to our workroom in Takapuna. I can’t resist a glass<br />

of rosé at Madam Woo and dinner at Clooney.”<br />

Much like the brand itself, Jenny is refreshingly relatable and immediately<br />

likeable.<br />

The Federation workroom is attached to the flagship store in Takapuna,<br />

which perfectly suits the laidback brand and team of six.<br />

From Stand To Streets<br />

the new fashion term to know is “terrace<br />

fashion”, which takes football style attire<br />

and gives it a high-fashion twist. this trend<br />

first appeared in the international <strong>2016</strong><br />

shows and set to peak for the european<br />

spring/summer 2017 season. Taking<br />

inspiration from the way football fans<br />

dress, think matching two-piece tracksuits,<br />

zip-up nylon jumpers, boxy t-shirts, retro<br />

sports prints and plenty of attitude.<br />

Just Relax<br />

Fitted suits are now considered a thing of the past in the world of menswear.<br />

This was a trend first spotted during the European spring/summer 2017<br />

collections. one, in particular, was oversized grandfather coats that practically<br />

swallowed models at Balenciaga in Paris. The trend was confirmed at New<br />

York <strong>Fashion</strong> Week with designers also following suit, opting for loose-fitting,<br />

shapeless garments. Perry Ellis matched looser outerwear with more fitted<br />

pants, shorts and shirts for a winning contrast.<br />

SHOULDER<br />

Olivia Palermo by Getty Images<br />

This summer’s all about the off-the-shoulder look. For daywear take<br />

inspiration from Olivia Palermo and look for pretty tops with voluminous,<br />

ruffled sleeves. During the evening we love glam gowns, like the ones<br />

Lily-Rose Depp and Julia Roberts recently wore to the Cannes Film<br />

Festival. Exposed shoulders are the chicest way to show some skin and<br />

the style is excellent for hiding any unwanted extra winter kilos. Simply<br />

dab on an illuminating body lotion and you’ll be prepped to wear this<br />

summer’s hottest trend.<br />

We love this new spring trend. Khaki and<br />

military greens act as the perfect blank<br />

canvas – either wear them head-to-toe<br />

or mix different shades of green. Make<br />

a dark khaki green pop against strong<br />

bright colours or style more classically<br />

with neutral tones. Add a green military<br />

coat to give an interesting tone to grey<br />

or black basics without making too much<br />

of a statement, while camo pants and<br />

accessories add a subtle tough-girl touch.<br />

These shades can be worn to suit all styles<br />

from safari chic, minimal or utility. If<br />

you, too, are looking for great ways to<br />

start styling greens into your wardrobe,<br />

a rare<br />

& Precious<br />

Thing<br />

Victoria Tait explores what makes the<br />

Hermès Birkin bag so unique.<br />

Hermès chief executive<br />

Jean-Louis Dumas<br />

English actress and singer Jane Birkin<br />

with seven-month-old Kate Barry, her<br />

daughter by composer John Barry, 9th<br />

November 1967, by Getty Images.<br />

Last month the auction room at christie’s hong Kong was<br />

packed tightly with fashionistas and purveyors of fine<br />

goods. There was an auction list of over 30 lots put together<br />

in a carefully curated catalogue consisting of fine art, ancient<br />

ceramics, jewellery, watches, rare wines and handbags.<br />

The item to watch was a Birkin – a 12-inch matte himalayan<br />

crocodile handbag, with white-gold hardware set with 245 F-colour<br />

diamonds, weighing close to 10 carats. Once the hammer fell<br />

this bag sold for a massive HKD$1.72 million (NZD$306,925),<br />

becoming “the most valuable handbag in the world”.<br />

We have all seen celebrities carry the famous bag and heard the<br />

stories about year-long waiting lists to get your hands on one, but<br />

what you might find surprising is that this famous bag has a very<br />

practical and simple history.<br />

It all started in 1983, on an Air France flight from Paris to<br />

London. singer/actress and mother of three Jane Birkin was sitting<br />

next to hermès chief executive<br />

Jean-Louis Dumas, who had<br />

taken over the leather goods<br />

company founded by his<br />

great-grandfather. During the<br />

flight Jane dropped her bag<br />

scattering its contents. her<br />

neighbour came to her aid and<br />

Jane told him, “Bags never<br />

have enough pockets!”<br />

At that point, he introduced<br />

himself and offered to have<br />

her dream bag made for her in<br />

his workshops. she explained<br />

exactly what she wanted. he<br />

took notes during the flight and<br />

stepped off the plane with a<br />

preliminary sketch. They met<br />

up in the workshop to discuss<br />

further and, in 1984, he<br />

created a black leather bag for<br />

her, based on a 1982 design.<br />

The final bag was spacious,<br />

sturdy, and convenient to use;<br />

a simple, elegant design. There<br />

was no question about what to<br />

call it; the Hermès Birkin bag<br />

was born.<br />

From its humble, practical<br />

beginnings, it’s no wonder this<br />

bag has stood the test of time.<br />

However, it’s the bag’s social<br />

status and exceptional design<br />

features that have women all<br />

around the world signing on to<br />

the huge waiting list.<br />

Hermès Birkin<br />

fast facts:<br />

• Birkin bags come in a range of sizes. They can be made to order with<br />

different custom-chosen hides, colour, and hardware fixtures, as well as<br />

other individual options including diamond-encrusting.<br />

• A variety of hides are available, including calf leather, lizard, and ostrich.<br />

The most expensive is the saltwater crocodile skin.<br />

• It’s an investment! In <strong>2016</strong>, a study found that Birkin bags had a resale<br />

value of a 14.2% return between 1980 and 2015.<br />

• The interior colour of each bag matches the exterior and is lined with<br />

goat-skin. Prices for the bag depend on the type of skin, the colour, and<br />

hardware fixtures.<br />

By Getty Images<br />

• The rare and very collectible Shooting Star Birkin – identified by its<br />

metallic star stamp next to “Hermès, Paris. Made in France” – has been<br />

made by an independent artisan for individual use. Each artisan is<br />

allowed to make one per year.<br />

• Every bag bears the mark of the artisan who made the bag. You might find<br />

stamps of more than one artisan. The fonts used and the order of stamping<br />

may vary, depending on the artisans.<br />

• Sizes range from 25cm to 40cm, with travelling bags of 50-55cm.<br />

• The bag has a lock and keys, which are number-coded. Early locks only<br />

bore one number on the bottom of the lock.<br />

• The metallic hardware, which includes the lock, keys, buckles, and base<br />

studs, are plated with gold or palladium to prevent tarnishing.<br />

• Hermès offers a “spa treatment” – this is a reconditioning for<br />

overworked bags.<br />

• Don’t confuse the similar Hermès Kelly bag with the Birkin. The Kelly is a<br />

single-handle handbag, while the Birkin has two handles.<br />

Facialist Clemency Alice takes us through a<br />

relaxing and restorative facial massage that will have<br />

your skin glowing for summer.<br />

Your hands are a powerful tool in determining the appearance of your skin.<br />

By incorporating stimulating facial massage movements into your daily<br />

skincare regime, your skin will look healthy and fresh with an additional<br />

softness and glow.<br />

There are 42 individual muscles in the face that can be toned just like<br />

any other muscle group. Facial massage helps improve muscle tone and<br />

relieves tension in the face. It facilitates the draining of unwanted toxins plus<br />

increases oxygen to the skin tissue.<br />

To get the most of your massage routine, take your time; this is a<br />

restorative, nurturing procedure that allows your skin to fully absorb the<br />

skincare actives and creates valuable time-out for you.<br />

Before beginning your massage routine, warm your facial oil in your hands,<br />

this will ensure that the ingredients in the oil are absorbed by the skin. Use<br />

products sparingly so not to overburden the skin.<br />

MarMalade Clothing<br />

& Curiosities<br />

Oxford’s only clothing boutique has<br />

become famous across Canterbury<br />

for its specialism in natural fibres<br />

and support of fair trade and New Zealand<br />

made. In the last three years, owner Jessica<br />

Fearnley-Campbell has worked hard to fill<br />

Marmalade Clothing & Curiosities to the<br />

brim with fashion-conscious essentials.<br />

From bamboo socks and underwear to<br />

silk scarves, New Zealand merino and<br />

organic cotton dresses, this unique store<br />

is a treasure trove of eclectic design,<br />

pattern and sumptuous fabrics. For Jessica<br />

it is important to know where her stock<br />

comes from – there is no other business<br />

in the region offering such a sustainable<br />

selection of clothing, jewellery and<br />

accessories all under one roof.<br />

What else makes Marmalade unique?<br />

This spring the store will become the only<br />

southern hemisphere stockist of UK best<br />

practice brands Weird Fish and Lily &<br />

Me. “We are so excited to have some new<br />

British labels in the store,” says Jessica.<br />

“Weird Fish offers fresh casual lifestyle<br />

clothing, perfect for New Zealanders who<br />

like to enjoy the outdoors at the weekend,<br />

while the Lily & Me garments feature a<br />

fabulous range of unique, bold prints.”<br />

Spring presents us with vivid and<br />

energetic colours such as ‘fiesta’, ‘melon’,<br />

‘buttercup’, aqua and ‘snorkel blue’, all of<br />

which transport you to a happier, sunnier<br />

place as soon as you walk in through the<br />

door of this friendly local business. In<br />

an instant, you realise it’s well worth the<br />

40-minute drive from the city centre to<br />

find yourself a unique fashion must-have.<br />

techniques<br />

Keihl’s Daily Reviving<br />

Concentrate<br />

Step 1<br />

Awaken: Firstly dispense and then warm<br />

the product in the palms of your hands.<br />

Cup these over your face and do three<br />

‘inhale ~ exhale’ breathing sequences.<br />

Gently massage the product onto your face,<br />

neck and décolletage using upward, gentle,<br />

sweeping movements.<br />

Step 2<br />

Revive: Starting from the chin and working<br />

along the jawline, perform quick, rhythmic<br />

pinching movements with your thumb and<br />

forefinger. Work your way up across the<br />

cheeks to the forehead.<br />

Step 3<br />

Smooth: Place all four fingers at the centre<br />

of your forehead. With a firm pressure,<br />

slowly glide out towards temples. Repeat<br />

three times.<br />

Step 4<br />

Release: With the balls of your thumbs,<br />

press firmly into the hollows beneath the<br />

inner corners of your eyebrows. Repeat these<br />

pressures to the outer edge of your eyebrow,<br />

each time holding for a slow count of three.<br />

Step 5<br />

Glide: Place the fingers on each side of your<br />

nose, and slowly glide below cheekbones to<br />

the ears. Repeat three times.<br />

Step 6<br />

Oxygenate: Closing your eyes, gently tap<br />

the entire face and neck with your fingertips<br />

(15 seconds).<br />

Step 7<br />

Repose: Cup your hands on either side of<br />

the face and hold for a slow count of five<br />

then release. Then press the forehead and<br />

chin, hold for a slow count of five and gently<br />

release.<br />

to see results, this is a disciplined sequence that needs to be<br />

performed once a day. think of your facial massage routine as a way of maintaining<br />

the tone and fitness of your skin. it’s rather like going to the gym or yoga class only<br />

once a week versus on a more disciplined day-to-day basis.<br />

skill level, the road to brow perfection can seem full of twists and turns. Let us show<br />

you the way, following this season’s trend of natural full-shaped brows.<br />

Tone<br />

Dark block brows are out.<br />

Look for a colour tone that<br />

is similar if not lighter than<br />

your hair colour. A great tool<br />

to use to aid you with this is<br />

the interactive online ‘Benefit<br />

brows Explorer’ (visit www.<br />

ballantynes.co.nz and click<br />

on the Benefit link). Or<br />

ask a beauty expert at your<br />

preferred beauty counter.<br />

Shapes<br />

The best way to determine your natural brow shape is to leave your<br />

brows unplucked for at least six to eight weeks. Through this, you<br />

will achieve a natural brow growth pattern, rather than forcing<br />

brows into an unnatural shape. work with what nature has given<br />

you! shapes include straight, like Natalie Portman, arched like Katy<br />

Perry, or rounded like Jennifer Lopez.<br />

Finishing Touches<br />

brow gels are a must for thinner brows as they increase the texture of your<br />

brows and make them appear thicker. If you have thick unruly brows, a gel is all<br />

you will need to define your shape.<br />

Highlight under your brow to lift it and enhance all that hard work.<br />

Make sure you choose a product you are comfortable with. If you’re a beginner,<br />

start with a simple product such as Benefit Goof Proof and build towards the<br />

more advanced products.<br />

Texture<br />

Several different techniques and products add depth<br />

and denseness to your eyebrows. When filling in brows,<br />

remember to use a product that is a touch lighter and more<br />

muted than your brow hair colour to achieve a natural look.<br />

Pencils – Choose one with a very fine tip in order to create<br />

small strokes that mimic actual hairs, to keep the look as<br />

natural as possible.<br />

Brush and Powder – Use these to produce slightly heavier<br />

look, which you can combat by working the product into<br />

your brows with a brush.<br />

Brow Markers – These offer maximum impact and are<br />

ideal for reconstructing shape.

Thickening<br />

Lotion<br />

STEP 1<br />

After shampooing and conditioning hair, apply products<br />

at the roots – I recommend Redken Rootful. Through<br />

your mid-lengths apply a thickening lotion, like Kevin<br />

Murphy Full Again, which will add the volume you need<br />

from roots to ends. Blow-dry hair upside down until<br />

100% dry.<br />

STEP 2<br />

Apply a heat protector – I use Redken Iron Hold Heat.<br />

Put hair into sections and create a curl using large tongs<br />

or straighteners. Alternate sections with curls and waves<br />

for a more beachy, textured look.<br />

STEP 3<br />

Turn head upside down and shake and spritz with a<br />

finishing spray (Kevin Murphy Doo.Over) and dust hair<br />

with a volume powder, like Redken Powder Grip, at<br />

the roots to create a textured volume that lasts all day.<br />

Turn head back upright and reapply products. Twist<br />

and scrunch hair into place and apply a spritz of Kevin<br />

Murphy Shimmer Shine Spray, leaving gold flakes in the<br />

hair for super shine.<br />

TIP The slower you pull the straighteners<br />

through the hair the tighter the curl; the quicker<br />

you pull them through the looser the curl.<br />

Let’s talk lips with Koru Clinic<br />

The features on a person’s face can change or determine how they<br />

are perceived, and we are all subconsciously affected by these cues.<br />

Every time we see a face, we make judgments on that person’s<br />

character and personality, and all this happens instantly and<br />

automatically in our brains.<br />

Years spent talking, chewing, pouting,<br />

smoking or smiling can lead to lines and<br />

wrinkles around the lips. Lip fullness<br />

can also be an indicator of aging, as<br />

time spent biting or pursing the lips<br />

can lead to deflated, thin lips over time.<br />

Lips are also especially vulnerable to<br />

environmental effects, as the skin on the<br />

lips is less than a third of the thickness of<br />

the skin on the rest of your face.<br />

Many women really want to improve<br />

the appearance of their lips but are<br />

understandably very scared about<br />

looking like a duck, especially after the<br />

all too common publicised disasters<br />

affecting some unfortunate celebrities.<br />

These days we all recognise women are<br />

looking for a natural appearance rather<br />

than looking like a “Kardashian”.<br />

Dermal fillers for the lips are one of<br />

the most popular cosmetic medicine<br />

treatments available, and are a very quick<br />

and easy way to dramatically improve<br />

your look. They typically last between<br />

12 – 14 months, and are hyaluronic<br />

acid based. Hyaluronic acid is a natural<br />

component of the skin, meaning the risk<br />

of adverse reactions to the procedure is<br />

very, very small. Recovery time is usually<br />

around 1 day.<br />

There are generally 3 types of<br />

requests for lip fillers at Koru Clinic,<br />

clients who want to:<br />

1. Boost Lip Volume<br />

2. Minimise smokers lines<br />

3. Define the lip border & reduce<br />

lipstick bleed<br />

Younger patients tend to go for larger<br />

lip volumes, whilst more mature women<br />

want a more natural lip augmentation.<br />

At Koru Clinic we only recommend<br />

using hyaluronic acid based fillers with<br />

high safety profiles, and after assessing<br />

each persons lips will decide on the most<br />

appropriate filler for the augmentation.<br />

working at Koru Clinic. Call 372 3589<br />

augmentation.<br />

Mark van Roosmalen is one of the country’s few remaining bespoke tailors.<br />

A fifth-generation tailor, van Roosmalen has been outfitting discerning<br />

men and women for the past 35 years. He has an eye for the creative<br />

and the panache to create a wide range of elegant and<br />

striking tailored garments with meticulous precision.<br />

A<br />

custom-made garment from MvR Tailoring is a truly wise investment that you will<br />

turn to year after year, as nothing compares with a garment made specifically for<br />

your unique body shape.<br />

Explaining the difference between bespoke and made-to-measure garments available<br />

from his Fendalton studio, van Roosmalen says, “Essentially, a bespoke piece involves<br />

the same process as made-to-measure, but is entirely hand-crafted. From the pattern to<br />

the finished masterpiece, all the construction and finishing details are made completely by<br />

hand.”<br />

MvR Tailoring uses a range of luxurious, quality fabrics from super-fine Italian wools<br />

and leather to classic English tweeds, and offers a full women’s wear service, too.<br />

With van Roosmalen’s years of experience and expertise, his tailoring will imbue you<br />

with sublime confidence.<br />

service, which ranges from invisible mending and buttonholes, to remodelling and<br />

renovating vintage garments.
