CASHMERE MUSINGS
Season 4 of Muse Cashmere sees the
Auckland-based brand bring 10 classic styles to
the fore in hues reflecting the autumn/winter
palette – think heather greys and mushroom
through to pops of blush, lilac and rust.
Says owner Olivia Healy, “Cashmere is
timeless, it can work within anyone’s wardrobe,
no matter their age or style. It’s incredibly
functional because it’s lightweight, doesn’t
crinkle and can be worn year round.”
The double-faced cashmere wrap has been
a prominent piece through each season, while
a touch of the 70s has been introduced with
the 70/30 cashmere-merino blend, ankle-length
Fleur dress (above) and its ribbed detailing.
WORK THAT SHIRT
The first full collection of
Harris Tapper sees designers
Sarah Harris and Lauren
Tapper go beyond the
signature tailored shirting for
which the brand has gained
popularity. In Pre Fall 2019,
the duo adds matching loose
slacks, tailored wide leg pants,
skirts and blazers.
“We want women
who wear our clothes to
feel powerful, refined and
armed to take on whatever
challenges come their way,”
says Lauren Tapper.
The pair called in their
friends for a campaign shoot,
styled to represent the
modern woman.

WALKING ON RAINBOWS
One of Puma’s latest collabs is with Chinatown Market.
Designed by Mike Cherman, Chinatown Market brings with it
the promise of fun graphics and cheeky prints, all drawn from
the fast-paced existence of New York’s Canal Street.
Whether it’s the Puma Suede Chinatown Market, with its
black and yellowed chequered pattern, or the multi-coloured
interchangeable stripes of the Ralph Sampson Lo Chinatown
Market, there’s nothing subtle about these kicks.
