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 />

significant making an appearance in both spring/<br />
summer <strong>2016</strong> and 2017 collections in paris,<br />
London, Milan and new york. rest assured this<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 />
follow our edit for some inspiration.<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 />

massage<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 />

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 />
Dr Jefferies is a cosmetic Physician<br />
working at Koru Clinic. Call 372 3589<br />
for an appointment to chat about a lip<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 />
