What is fashion? Is it a trend, a colourway, or a state of mind? Perhaps it is all of these things, and more... In homes, fashion can relate to the materials we use to create our personal havens. It means a term such as prefabrication – once a description for cookie-cutter buildings lacking in designer merit – becomes worthy of serious kudos. All it takes is an investment in a process and the result can be an international success story, and a turning of the trends. Fashion can mean you opt for black tapware the next time you refresh the vanity, or invest in tiles that add a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral backdrop. It affects the art that hangs on your walls, and the themes that run through your furnishings. The fashion industry is embroiled in battles against all things digital. It doesn’t matter how fashionable you are if you don’t have customers committing to your designs with their wallets. A sinking ship is best left to the fish. And so you fall out of fashion. For a more ‘traditional’ take on the latest and greatest in fashion, we have collected and curated some designer looks to keep you warm through the cool season ahead. The <strong>Style</strong> Fashion Autumn/Winter edition is threaded with a story of colour and drama, thanks to the creative mind of our stylist, Sarah Louise. To embrace movement and look to how the body fits the clothes, and not the other way around, she turned to performers to pose for our camera this month. Lizzie Tollemache and Dave Ladderman, founders of Christchurch-based theatre company Rollicking Entertainment Ltd, have toured eight countries with their original live performances, and now, they bring a touch of circus to fashion. Fashion spills over to mean so much more than what is restricted to needle and thread. Whatever you choose, what you’re looking for is found in <strong>Style</strong>.
