What better way to celebrate the<br />
new season than with the type<br />
of spring clean that lifts the spirits –<br />
not the dust mites?<br />
Yes, as we come down from the<br />
highs that were aplenty at New<br />
Zealand Fashion Week, it’s time to<br />
take a long, hard look at the wardrobe<br />
and consider with which on-trend<br />
heel you’ll step into the new season.<br />
Fortunately, we’ve fully immersed<br />
ourselves in the world of fashion to<br />
put our favourites on show for you.<br />
From the well-travelled and inspiring<br />
Jane Daniels to the family network<br />
behind Ruby and Liam, we have<br />
connected with some brilliant fashion<br />
minds to see what goes on behind the<br />
scenes. We also dipped into what’s<br />
drawing fashion designers to Bali.<br />
In our fashion shoots, Jessica Amor<br />
brought to life the floaty, floral trend<br />
that’s making itself known this spring,<br />
as well as adding the pops of colour<br />
that will see you shaking off the last<br />
the winter’s hold. And don’t worry,<br />
we have an update for men too.<br />
Fashion flows seamlessly into the<br />
home, prompting Gaynor Stanley to<br />
focus her attention on dressing the<br />
bedroom. School up on the dos and<br />
don’ts for the ideal bed ensemble and<br />
you’re destined to keen on top of that<br />
beauty sleep.<br />
Enjoy the latest <strong>Style</strong> – it’s most<br />
definitely in fashion.<br />

Vero Moda<br />
IN FASHION<br />
New Zealand Fashion Week has come and gone,<br />
ensuring we know with which heel to step into the new<br />
season. Right in the thick of it was our very own Jessica<br />
Amor of Alchemy Styling, the stylist for our fashion<br />
shoots. Winner of the ‘Get Stylie with Kylie’ competition,<br />
Jess assisted Kylie Cooke, whose credentials include<br />
being lead stylist for New Zealand’s Next Top Model and<br />
dressing Orlando Bloom, in creating the Heart of the City<br />
runway show. We already knew she was a superstar!<br />
Fashion For a Cure is back for another year, bringing<br />
together big names and high fashion to raise funds for<br />
Breast Cancer Cure – New Zealand’s only not-for-profit<br />
organisation dedicated to funding scientific research into<br />
curing this prevalent disease. The Christchurch event will<br />
take place at The Great Hall in the Arts Centre on 19<br />
<strong>September</strong>, with guests enjoying a three-course dinner,<br />
arrival cocktail, flowing wine, as well as the latest looks<br />
from Trelise Cooper, Moochi, Carlson, Ruby, Storm,<br />
Nom*D, and many more.<br />
SPEND<br />
Danish fashion label Vero Moda has been dressing<br />
women in on-trend, accessible styles since 1975, yet,<br />
it’s only been a month since it landed in a store in New<br />
Zealand. Farmers has added the brand to its stable, as<br />
well as its Aware by Vero Moda collections – seasonal<br />
offerings where sustainability is at the heart of the<br />
production process.<br />
August was also the month in which Westfield Riccarton<br />
gained the South Island’s first Lorna Jane. Started by<br />
Australian fitness instructor Lorna Jane Clarkson in 1989,<br />
the activewear brand now fills the shelves of more than<br />
200 stores in 17 countries. Look good, feel good, right?<br />
Have you been to Oxford recently? Our <strong>Style</strong> tip is to<br />
stop into nzulu (next to Cruisy Days Diner on Main<br />
Street). With the likes of Sabatini, Stella+Gemma, and<br />
Mor, you might find a trip to the country is just what your<br />
wardrobe ordered.

sea outlooks, this elegant contemporary family home (422m2) is sunny and spacious<br />

mountains, every detail has been considered in this exquisite family home.<br />
Three double bedrooms (master with ensuite + walk-in robe) and three modern<br />
bathrooms provide generous accommodation for family life, while three living<br />
areas including an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and two separate lounges<br />
promise versatile living.<br />
Beautifully sheltered and graced with superb sun and views, the tiered north-west<br />
facing gardens comprise of multiple entertainment areas connected by sweeping<br />
steps and established greenery. A sanctuary to behold complete with entrance<br />
pond and native birdsong, a beautiful terrace and courtyard provide plenty of<br />
options for sharing the serenity, while a heated in-ground pool and an expansive<br />
deck is a bonus. Completing the appeal is drive on access with triple car garaging.<br />

RESET<br />
Needing a new season reboot? Kiki Health has just<br />
landed in New Zealand at Nicola Quinn Beauty &<br />
Day Spa. The supplement range includes superfoods,<br />
probiotics, collagen, plant-based nutrients and more.<br />
Unlike most on the market, all of the products are<br />
natural, organic, GMO-free and non-irradiated, without<br />
any fillers or synthetics.<br />
Also in Christchurch, Balance Pilates has put the zen<br />
back into the old masonic lodge in Cashmere (corner<br />
of Dyers Pass and Hackthorne roads). Expect reformer<br />
machines, Booty Barre, pre- and post-natal classes, and<br />
more. For those further south, <strong>September</strong> sees the arrival<br />
of Fierce Grace Yoga in Queenstown. The heated studio<br />
will open its doors in Queenstown Central (19 Grant<br />
Road, Frankton) as the first in Australasia and tenth in the<br />
world, joining others in London, New York and Italy. The<br />
UK’s fastest growing yoga brand incorporates a mix of<br />
yoga styles – from ashtanga to yin – with 12 classes based<br />
on the same core poses and principles.<br />

Turn your spring clean into a styling session and take<br />
your living room to the next level with the IKEA PS<br />
2014. Boasting an award-winning design that was inspired<br />
by science fiction movies, pull the strings to change the<br />
shape and the level of light coming from this statementmaking<br />
shade. Find yours at Nordic Chill (The Colombo,<br />
Christchurch).<br />
If you’re tired of looking at your own living room, make a<br />
date at someone else’s. Aosta is a new restaurant on the<br />
Arrowtown foodie scene that is creating quite the stir.<br />
Named after a small town in the Italian Alps, Aosta takes<br />
over from where Saffron and Rosie B’s left off, though<br />
with a newly designed décor thanks to Anna-Marie Chen<br />
– who designed The Hills’ lodge. Co-owned by Sir Michael<br />
Hill, the head chef is another big name, Ben Bayly, hailing<br />
from Auckland’s fine-dining restaurant The Grove.<br />

The Britain-born fashion designer has<br />
a distinct passion for the world and its<br />
beauty and you can see this clearly in<br />
her collections. It is travel that helps<br />
define her and the fashion label she<br />
created back in 1986.<br />
Daniels travelled back to London at<br />
20 years old to study design, pattern<br />
making and tailoring and now travels<br />
extensively every year. There’s no<br />
question that Daniel’s designs are handcurated<br />
depictions of the places she<br />
goes. “Anything can inspire me. A detail<br />
on a building, a costume in a museum,<br />
a colour combination in a painting.” She<br />
moves about the world inhaling the<br />
sights, smells and colours all around.<br />
“Like in Egypt, the indigo water against<br />
the chartreuse reeds on the Nile.” Add<br />
to this the lapis, turquoise and carnelian<br />
stones in Tutankhamen’s jewellery and<br />
she has herself an exciting collection.<br />
Daniels says her philosophy is to<br />
design ‘want-to-have’ rather than<br />
‘need-to-have’ garments. Every one<br />
of her collections is a careful curation<br />
of contemporary, versatile, easy-towear<br />
pieces that range from casual<br />
to corporate to cocktail. Her starting<br />
point for all her ranges is the creation<br />
of her own colour palette. She then has<br />
her European fabrics bespoke-dyed in<br />
Europe. Her designs, she says, have a<br />
backbone of good tailoring with elegant<br />
simple lines. “I like to incorporate<br />
innovative and unusual detailing,<br />
bending the rules somewhat for the<br />
more imaginative pieces.”<br />
The Auckland-based designer has<br />
become well known for always using<br />
high-quality fabrics. She heads to the<br />
Paris textile fair twice a year to get the<br />
latest prints, textures and technical<br />
fabrics, most often from Italy. Because<br />
of the seasonal differences she can have<br />
them in-store in New Zealand before<br />
Europe and America. Her travels have<br />
mostly taken her to Europe for her<br />
fashion inspiration but more recently<br />
to more exotic destinations as brand<br />
ambassador for the Christchurch-based<br />
Innovative Travel Company. She’s been<br />
to Egypt, Iran, India, Oman, Morocco<br />
and Sri Lanka. It’s this exposure to new<br />
places, new cultures and new colours<br />
that inspires her ideas.<br />
One of her favourite destinations<br />
for work has been the Silk Road in<br />
Uzbekistan. “What will always remain<br />
with me is being surrounded by walls of<br />
intricate tiles of brilliant blue, turquoise<br />
and saffron in the Shah-i-Zinda (sacred<br />
street) in Samarkand.” She also loved<br />
India for its vibrancy, Kyoto for is<br />
serenity and Inner Mongolia for its<br />
unique and natural landforms.<br />
Her upcoming summer collection is<br />
inspired by the tropical island locations<br />
in the Caribbean, with fresh white
STYLE | profile 21<br />
The colours of Samarkand, in intricate tiles and peony pink yarn, make it a favourite destination.<br />
linens and ice. “Cream pastels and a<br />
palette of strong tropical colours – redorange,<br />
Galliano yellow, spring green,<br />
turquoise and hot pink linens.”<br />
If Daniels could choose any country<br />
to live in, after New Zealand it would<br />
be Italy. She loves the food, the history<br />
recorded in the architecture and arts<br />
and the fascinating regionalism. “Every<br />
town in Italy seems to have a specialty<br />
in terms of food or an artisan tradition<br />
that has been maintained.” She’s made<br />
leather-bound books with a master<br />
bookbinder in Fabriano, a town famous<br />
for paper for over 1000 years.<br />
“And furthermore, France is just<br />
across the border, I adore France and<br />
love its wine!”<br />
She also loves Italian food. Once in<br />
Bologna she found a little restaurant,<br />
De Cesar, which opened in 1955. “I<br />
love their dish of ravioli pumpkin, butter<br />
and crispy sage.” But her favourite was<br />
a hole in the wall in Florence – Vini E<br />
Vecci Sapori. “A Mama-, Papa- and sonoperation<br />
with the best zucchini flower<br />
pasta.” But, she says, a New Zealand<br />
pinot noir or an outdoor summer<br />
lunch with a dry rosé is rather<br />
unbeatable, too.<br />
Daniels sees the biggest challenge<br />
of the fashion industry as waste. This<br />
is compounded by the fixation of the<br />
world to share their lives online and<br />
having a visible status. “A narcissistic<br />
cult of celebrity-by-degree exists.<br />
Ultimately the result is an accelerating<br />
need that pressures the fashion<br />
industry to produce ‘the new’ more<br />
often.” Daniels says this model is not<br />
sustainable for the planet. “Every few<br />
months a news story breaks about<br />
millions of dollars of new unsold<br />
clothing being incinerated or going into<br />
landfills to protect a brand.”<br />
But the Jane Daniels label is proudly<br />
New Zealand made and has its own<br />
high standards. They pay fair wages<br />
and the construction costs are well<br />
governed by New Zealand labour<br />
laws and the company’s own ethical<br />
standards. “We know the people who<br />
make our garments and have good<br />
first-name friendships with our sewers<br />
and cutters.”<br />
The same can be said of Jane Daniels<br />
clients, who she says are fashionforward<br />
and discerning and know<br />
that her high quality, mostly natural<br />
European fabrics and quality tailoring<br />
are not inexpensive. “I think, most<br />
importantly, they are engaged, in that<br />
they tell me how much they enjoy the<br />
back story and travel/history research<br />
that I bring to my collections.” Two of<br />
her clients loved the brand so much<br />
that a few years ago, they joined the<br />
Jane Daniels team.<br />
She personally loves the simple yet<br />
detailed Japanese aesthetic, citing her<br />
favourite designer as Yohji Yamamoto.<br />
“His draping, asymmetrical cutting,<br />
origami folding and architectural<br />
detailing.” Early on she was influenced<br />
by the sleek, tailored looks of Italian<br />
designers like Giorgio Armani and also<br />
Donna Karan. But she says now there’s<br />
a much greater demand for less rigid<br />
clothing and for fabrics that stretch and<br />
move with you. Her original collections<br />
were built around suiting as there was<br />
always a strong delineation between<br />
work attire and leisure. But that’s no<br />
longer the way.

The ancient Japanese document below inspired this silk print.<br />
“There is an ever-increasing demand for<br />
trans-seasonal and travel-friendly clothing.<br />
This is how my collections have evolved.”<br />
Never sitting still long, Daniels is about<br />
to head off to Greece. One of her<br />
colleagues in the Christchurch store is<br />
getting married on Santorini and, much<br />
to Daniel’s delight, has invited the boss.<br />
She’s going to head to Meteora to see<br />
the clifftop monasteries, to Athens and to<br />
some of the islands she’s researched. “I<br />
hope to do some painting and to gather<br />
some ideas for jewellery design.” She<br />
advises this for anyone travelling. Daniels<br />
takes hundreds of photos but also travels<br />
with a pen, a watercolour notebook and<br />
a bijou paint box to record what she sees.<br />
“It makes you observe more closely and a<br />
just a few coloured marks on a page can<br />
be a fabulous souvenir of your trip.”<br />
While her trips are all busy soaking up<br />
the sights, smells and sounds Daniels also<br />
recommends a pool day every so often.<br />
“A chance to reflect on what you have<br />
done so far and perhaps edit your photos<br />
and write a few postcards.”<br />
When not designing garments or<br />
travelling the world, you’ll find Daniels<br />
on the beach, or at home with her<br />
four cats reading a historical novel or a<br />
biography on a pioneering woman. She<br />
also loves to paint. “I love the looseness<br />
of what I would call happy accidents that<br />
watercolour can provide.”<br />
Drawing inspiration from an everchanging<br />
world ensures Jane Daniels, the<br />
person and the brand, stays very on-trend.

DESIGNED IN NZ,<br />
MADE IN BALI<br />
Vanessa Ortynsky speaks with Kiwi brands connecting with Balinese<br />
artisans to produce the latest fashions.
26 STYLE | report<br />
Rosie Shelton in Luna<br />
& Rose’s Bali studio.<br />
During a trip to Bali with some friends in 2012, Rosie<br />
Shelton couldn’t help but admire the beautiful<br />
culture and way of life of the Balinese. She was also<br />
impressed by their craftsmanship, especially their<br />
silverwork, and soon realised there was no better place<br />
to start her label.<br />
Prior to launching Luna & Rose, Shelton was working<br />
for a large global surfwear brand and was always<br />
disappointed when the actual makers behind each piece<br />
weren’t properly acknowledged. With Luna & Rose, she<br />
says, “It’s so important that our artisans’ stories are told<br />
and their crafts are maintained and upheld.”<br />
By choosing to work hands-on with local artisans,<br />
Shelton is able to maintain and showcase that connection<br />
in an authentic way.<br />
Unlike Chinese factories where clothing and jewellery<br />
is produced in high volume, sometimes thousands of<br />
each item, Bali attracts boutique labels and designers who<br />
are looking for smaller orders – which was part of the<br />
appeal for Jyoti Morningstar, founder of New Zealand<br />
yoga wear and accessories brand WE-AR.<br />
“The people are connected to their traditional village<br />
culture and [in Bali] it was possible to sample small run<br />
sizes and gain access to creative workshops that specialise
STYLE | report 27<br />
in printing and traditional plant dying.”<br />
The island’s manufacturing boom has<br />
attracted a handful of Australian and, more<br />
recently, New Zealand designers; many<br />
who have now set up their manufacturing<br />
base on the island.<br />
Not only are Balinese artisans incredibly<br />
skilled, their craftsmanship comes from<br />
generations of passed-downknowledge.<br />
“As you travel around Bali, each village<br />
specialises in a different craft form whether<br />
it’s painting, silversmithing, wood carving,<br />
stone carving... you name it and there is<br />
guaranteed to be a specialist here in Bali,”<br />
says Shelton.<br />
For New Zealand company Rhye<br />
Intimates, it was actually by crosselimination<br />
that owner Chantal Myers<br />
discovered the right manufacturer for her<br />
business.<br />
“I did a lot of research to source a<br />
local manufacturer in New Zealand.<br />
However, with low MOQs [Minimum<br />
Order Quantity] and materials required to<br />
produce underwear garments, I couldn’t<br />
find anyone locally who was able to<br />
accommodate my needs, particularly as a<br />
start-up on a budget.”<br />
The right materials and low minimum orders drove Rhye Intimates’ decision to launch in Bali.<br />

28 STYLE | report<br />
Yoga wear and accessories by WE-AR are made in B-CORP-certified<br />
production houses in Bali.<br />
The ability to work directly with local artisans was a big factor in<br />
Rosie Shelton’s decision to base Luna & Rose in Bali.<br />
For Myers, it’s important that their manufacturer values<br />
their employees and provides good working conditions.<br />
Operating ethically, through fair wages and safe working<br />
conditions, is at the company’s core values. Fortunately,<br />
they managed to find the right manufacturer in Bali, who<br />
specialises in lingerie and works primarily with start-ups and<br />
small businesses.<br />
Is it more affordable to manufacture clothing and<br />
jewellery in Bali? Says Morningstar, “For those whose main<br />
measure of success is financial, it would be unlikely to be a<br />
good fit because, no, it is not more affordable.<br />
“Honestly, in many ways this is a good thing. In our<br />
supply chain, we know that the people doing the work are<br />
being paid well so they can live well. This is often not the<br />
case in scenarios where production costs less.”<br />
Myers would eventually like to bring production back to<br />
New Zealand, but appreciates that Bali is only a short flight<br />
away. She also finds Bali business culture and etiquette<br />
is similar to New Zealand with so much Australasian<br />
influence in Bali already. For start-ups, she notes that it’s<br />
certainly worth exploring for business opportunities.<br />
Shelton finds that doing business in Bali is different<br />
than in New Zealand and the artisans she works with are<br />
creatives rather than business people. Balinese people work<br />
They choose to work hours that<br />
best suit them and live a more<br />
balanced and relaxed lifestyle<br />
than many of us in New Zealand.<br />
in their home industries and factories are few and far<br />
between, unlike in other parts of Asia and the rest of the<br />
world. “My silversmiths don’t own computers, nor are<br />
they driven by huge business development.”<br />
With a direct flight from Auckland, more and more<br />
Kiwis are both visiting and moving to Bali. It’s definitely<br />
becoming more common to manufacture from here<br />
and open businesses. And while the New Zealand<br />
fashion industry might be less than impressed with the<br />
increase in offshore manufacturing, many Bali-based Kiwi<br />
designers are making valuable contributions to Balinese<br />
communities and operating under ethical working<br />
conditions that might otherwise have been out of reach.

FILLING THE GAP<br />
As unmet need for medical treatments through the public health system grows, the<br />
Canterbury Charity Hospital performs a vital role. We speak to Philip Bagshaw,<br />
co-founder, chairman and volunteer surgeon, about its amazing services.<br />
What led to the development of a charity hospital in<br />
Canterbury?<br />
It was in response to Canterbury District Health Board slashing<br />
elective surgery places by many thousands. Many were for<br />
conditions like hernias and haemorrhoids, which can have a<br />
big effect on people’s lives if not treated. My colleagues and<br />
I started out working from a mobile surgical bus and then<br />
opened our doors in Harewood Road, Bishopdale, in 2007<br />
providing day surgery two or three days a week.<br />
How does the charity hospital operate?<br />
With the help of 300 volunteer surgeons, dentists, anaesthetists,<br />
counsellors, nurses, technicians and support staff we provide<br />
free medical, surgical, dental and counselling services to the<br />
people of Canterbury. Our range of services has increased<br />
significantly since 2007 and we now have three buildings<br />
including a day surgery, endoscopy theatre and counselling<br />
offices and an oral surgery clinic with a community room.<br />
Who is eligible to access these services?<br />
For the majority of our services, our patients have to be turned<br />
down for their treatment by the Canterbury District Health<br />
Board. They do not have medical insurance and cannot afford<br />
to be seen privately. They also need a referral from their family<br />
doctor or dentist, depending on the treatment.<br />
It’s about even more than elective day surgery and medical<br />
outpatient services, right?<br />
Our services constantly change to meet the need and currently<br />
include colonoscopy (acute and screening), gynaecology<br />
and women’s health, general surgery (abdominal, rectal),<br />
urology, oral surgery and dentistry, counselling (self-referral),<br />
orthopaedics (upper limb) and cataract surgery. At our busy<br />
endoscopy clinic we see people aged under 50 with rectal<br />
bleeding and, unfortunately, our screening has identified patients<br />
with symptoms of bowel cancer that wouldn’t have otherwise<br />
been detected.<br />
How does the Canterbury Charity Hospital Trust enable this<br />
non-government-funded medical service to continue?<br />
We rely on the generosity of the local community as volunteers<br />
and for donations and bequests, along with fundraising<br />
applications, to raise the $800,000 a year we need to run<br />
our free services. Because we have only three paid staff and<br />
low overheads, a large percentage of the money we do raise<br />
goes directly towards patient care. We also host an annual<br />
fundraising function, our Charity Hospital Christmas Gala at<br />
the Air Force Museum on Friday 29 November.<br />
“Because we have only three paid<br />
staff and low overheads, a large<br />

As we head into spring<br />
you’ve probably already had<br />
people telling you that ‘now<br />
is the perfect time to sell<br />
your home’. The thing is, it’s<br />
true, and here’s why.<br />
The most obvious reason is that homes<br />
look great at this time of the year. When<br />
the sun’s out and the garden’s in bloom,<br />
it’s that much easier to paint a picture that<br />
will truly inspire prospective purchasers.<br />
Of course, there are other contributing<br />
factors too. With the start of a fresh year<br />
just a few months away, there will be<br />
plenty of families scrambling to secure<br />
properties in desirable school zones,<br />
while new job opportunities in 2020<br />
mean professionals will also be looking<br />
to relocate.<br />
And don’t forget the role Christmas<br />
plays! The summer holidays are a huge<br />
marker in the sand for us Kiwis, and many<br />
buyers will be fuelled by a desire to be<br />
ensconced in their new home by mid-<br />
December. This could help expedite the<br />
negotiation process. Last, but certainly<br />
not least, there’s the fact that we’re simply<br />
conditioned to buy at this time of the year.<br />
Spring brings with it an air of optimism;<br />
a willingness to embrace change which<br />
sees buyers enter the market with a real<br />
sense of commitment and resolve.<br />
If you’re thinking about buying or selling,<br />
or are just after some friendly advice, then<br />
please don’t hesitate to get in touch – the<br />
team at Holmwood are here to help!<br />

NZFW WRAP<br />
The most exciting week of the year for the New Zealand fashion industry celebrated<br />
familiar favourites and emerging new talent. The fashion-filled week saw us running<br />
from venue to venue to soak up the talent and creativity of our clever community.<br />
Words Vanessa Ortynsky<br />
New Zealand Fashion Week kicked off on Monday night<br />
(26 August) with Kate Sylvester’s truly romantic A/W<br />
2020 collection. As love letters inspired by her parents during<br />
the 1950s flooded the runway, a squad of models in fiercely<br />
feminine silk and lace dresses as well as polished suiting<br />
took over the catwalk. Our favourite look was the feminineyet-powerful<br />
lilac skirt suit, which was paired with Barbour<br />
wellingtons, a nod to Kate’s outdoorsy side.<br />
Just days before her show, Kate Sylvester announced her<br />
new online marketplace for pre-loved pieces, aligning herself<br />
with the growing focus on sustainability. Reloved is a forum for<br />
customers to re-sell their used KS pieces and shop for the best<br />
vintage gems, preventing them from becoming landfill.<br />
On day two, Maggie Marilyn’s debut NZFW show took<br />
place offsite at Morningside’s Glasshouse with citrus trees and<br />
floral installations galore. Instead of goodie bags, guests were<br />
invited to take home fresh fruit and flowers. Maggie’s collection<br />
featured a range of ethereal silks and pastels, which she’s<br />
become known for over the years, but also a few black pieces<br />
that will seamlessly fit into our Kiwi wardrobes.<br />
Next up, we cheered through Jockey’s lively Tokyo show<br />

the latest range. As is customary at Jockey shows, it was<br />
lighthearted and fun, getting everyone excited for the<br />
upcoming Rugby World Cup in Japan (from 20 <strong>September</strong>).<br />
A definite highlight of the week was Paris Georgia’s first ever<br />
NZFW show. Their sophisticated collection was everything<br />
we’d hope for, with immaculate tailoring and timeless staples.<br />
It featured plenty of sculpted silhouettes made with firm,<br />
luxurious fabrics and body-hugging skirts, sleeveless dresses<br />
and voluminous sleeves. Standout pieces included a glossy<br />
sage coat, worn with a pleated skirt; a dramatic red dress with<br />
a low back and the massively oversized (and sunsmart) beach<br />
hat with white shirt and sheer biker shorts. We also fell in love<br />
with their yellow silk dress.<br />
Day three started bright and early with the immensely<br />
talented Benjamin Alexander’s intimate morning presentation<br />
just above Amano at The Quay Project. The impossibly chic<br />
collection was consistent with the aesthetic we’ve come to<br />
expect from the designer, who won season one of Project<br />
Runway New Zealand. We couldn’t get enough of the<br />
dramatic gowns and billowing silhouettes, which were paired<br />
with shoes from his new collaboration with Mi Piaci. The<br />
collection (named after the important women in his life) is<br />
already available to shop via his website.<br />
Later on, we ventured to Morningside for a peaceful<br />
presentation where Juliette Hogan’s workroom was<br />
transformed into a natural oasis. Pianist Gabrielle Peake<br />
created and performed an original piece to reflect the<br />
collection and we immediately felt a sense of calm wash over<br />
us. Ten models walked around as we sipped on refreshing<br />
elderflower, cucumber and rosemary drinks, allowing us to<br />
admire their elegant, streamlined looks in a muted, pastel<br />
palette. It’s easy to imagine a capsule wardrobe consisting only<br />
of silk separates and floor-length dresses.<br />
The highlight of every fashion week is the Stolen Girlfriends<br />
Club show, which took place outdoors at the Avondale<br />
Racecourse this year. Transformed into a Berlin nightclub with<br />
a techno soundtrack, an army of brooding models and fire<br />
barrels being lit one-by-one in front of our seats, it proved to<br />
be a gamechanger yet again. The outdoor show began in a<br />
blaze of glory, with studded leather pieces and a full-on red<br />
leather ensemble.<br />
All in all, it was a fabulous and exhausting week, meeting<br />
new faces and examining the ever-changing industry. Our<br />
fashion choices need to be more considered and it’s reassuring<br />
to see Kiwi designers taking a step back to create collections<br />
that include recycled and sustainable materials.

INTERNATIONAL TRENDS,<br />

Indulge in the latest international fashion trends and the<br />

Words Brittany Pooley<br />
Fun and ultra-femme, this season sees us in florals,<br />
frills, pastels, embellished trainers and pearls. Let’s<br />
look at who’s doing them well and how to wear them.<br />
FUN FLORALS<br />
Take your pick of florals this season<br />
Floral is in bloom for <strong>2019</strong>. This budding international<br />
trend may be a signifier for spring fashion, but frankly,<br />
with such great prints hitting the market, we’re getting<br />
impatient for warmer temps. Seek out floral pieces<br />
with contemporary silhouettes in dresses, blouses,<br />
pants, jumpsuits and co-ords. Whatever your style,<br />
a floral print will make any wallflower stand out. For<br />
now, opt for more trans-seasonal pieces that can<br />
be layered on colder days. Pair with your favourite<br />
brogues, loafers or trainers until we warm into sandalwearing<br />
weather. Escape your winter blues and step<br />
into early spring with a fresh and fun floral print.<br />

SORBET SHADES<br />
Coat your wardrobe in a palette of pastel<br />
This year’s trending palette is pastel. Think mint greens, soft pinks, baby<br />
blues and everything lavender. The ‘it’ piece for this palette is a chunky<br />
knit. <strong>Style</strong> over your favourite shirt dress with just a peak of collar showing,<br />
or go bold and colourblock a head to toe pastel co-ord. If you’re a loyal<br />
wearer of black, as many of us southerners are, introducing pastel to your<br />
wardrobe can be a bit daunting. This trend can be honoured with just a<br />
hint of colour through your accessories. Anything in lavender leather will<br />
do. With hoards of options available, this trend is a creamy and sweet<br />
addition to your seasonal wardrobe.

FEMME FRILLS<br />
Feature frills for the upcoming<br />
season<br />
Frills are back as a trending detail<br />
this fashion season. While 2018<br />
was the year of the elasticated<br />
off-shoulder bardot, it seems this<br />
year we have traded in milkmaids<br />
for prairie girls with much more<br />
conservative necklines. Seek<br />
out tiers of fabric with printed<br />
dresses, midi-skirts, blouses and<br />
prairie dresses. Go for pieces<br />
with generous folds of fabric<br />
around the sleeves, cuffs, neck or<br />
with tiers through the garment.<br />
This trend is best worn in sheer<br />
textiles. Reach for soft colours<br />
such as cream, lavender, light<br />
pink and baby blue.<br />
Whether they create big<br />
volume or a subtle feature, frills<br />
are a delicate detailing that can<br />
add a touch of vintage romance<br />
to any outfit this season.<br />

EMBELLISHED TRAINERS<br />
Embellish your trainers for workouts,<br />
work and weekends<br />
Trending last year, embellished trainers<br />
are back for another season. With endless<br />
styling options, a great pair of sneakers<br />
is a staple for every wardrobe. Not to<br />
mention they are a reliable source of<br />
comfort for a busy, active day. This season,<br />
we say go big or go home. Play with<br />
pastels, glitter, jewels, leopard prints, studs,<br />
cut-outs and embroidery. If worn with a<br />
pair of long pants or skirt, make sure to<br />
break up your pieces with a peak of skin.<br />
Experiment with shape, colour, print and<br />
height to find your go-to pair. Pair with a<br />
barely-there anklet sock or a statement<br />

EDGY PEARLS<br />
Give a timeless classic some modern-day edge<br />
Valentine Trainer by Kathryn Wilson,<br />
available for pre-order.<br />
A polished string of pearls has long been a key accessory<br />
for the conservative dresser. This year, pearls are back in<br />
fashion in a big way, but this time with a little edge. To<br />
get amongst this <strong>2019</strong> accessory, look beyond your classic<br />
white set. Seek out imperfect pearled pieces with differing<br />
surfaces, sizes and shades. With pearl-studded sunglasses,<br />
oversized earrings, layers of bracelets, chokers, anklets, hair<br />
clips and closures on garments – the options are endless.<br />
Mix it up and pair with both silver and gold. We’re in<br />
favour of necklaces with just a touch of pearl worn over an<br />
in-season turtleneck or with an unbuttoned button-up.<br />

TRENDING APPROACHES TO<br />
SUSTAINABLE FASHION<br />
New Zealand can’t stop talking about sustainable fashion, literally.<br />
The Sustainability Conversation launched New Zealand Fashion Week.<br />
Here, we help you contribute to the conversation with our top five trending<br />
approaches to sustainable fashion.<br />
Words Brittany Pooley<br />
GO SLOW<br />
Slow Fashion is a fashion philosophy. It focuses on<br />
the ethics behind the processes and resources used<br />
to make clothing. There are many approaches to<br />
slow fashion, so seek out brands that are transparent<br />
about theirs. Start easy by keeping an eye out for<br />
labels with smaller runs and made-to-order garments.<br />
Beba Top in Natural by Ellis and Friends.<br />
SHOP LOCAL<br />
Buying locally-made fashion pieces<br />
is a sustainable approach to fashion<br />
consumption. Not only are you supporting<br />
your local economy, you’re also backing the<br />
designers and makers of your local fashion<br />
community. With a high expectation for<br />
social responsibility, New Zealand-made<br />
goods ensure the quality of your product<br />
and the wellbeing of the people behind it.<br />

DIY<br />
DIY fashion gives your<br />
wardrobe more meaning<br />
and purpose. Start small,<br />
and have fun pairing<br />
contemporary sewing<br />
patterns with seasonal<br />
fabrics. Need help? Plan a<br />
fun evening session with<br />
friends to swap skills and<br />
ideas or seek out existing<br />
communities online with<br />
the hashtag #diyfashion<br />

& Bridge from<br />
Lend the Label.<br />
RENT IT<br />
Renting fashion is an innovative approach to sustainable<br />
fashion. Have a big event coming up? Instead of<br />
splurging for an expensive piece you’re likely to wear<br />
once, rent a designer dress online. It’s high-end fashion<br />
at a low-end cost, all the while reducing your impact<br />
on the environment.<br />

SEEK ALTERNATIVES<br />
A key part of fashion’s sustainability issue revolves around<br />
the textiles used. Be conscious of your textile choices and<br />
seek out more sustainable alternatives. Have you ever<br />
considered plant-based textiles with a minimal footprint?<br />
For fashion that won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth,<br />
check out your local designers using Piñatex, a natural<br />
leather made from pineapple.
ALL IN THE FAMILY<br />
Play together, stay together. Curious whether the same applies to work<br />
together, Ella James put some questions to Ruby’s Sharma sisters about<br />
being colleagues in the fashion business the family bought in 2008.<br />

RUBY GENERAL MANAGER &<br />
LIAM DESIGNER<br />
As a family, what has been your proudest ‘Ruby’<br />
moment?<br />
To be honest, it’s not one single moment, it’s that<br />
every morning we get back up, get back in to the<br />
workroom and still love making clothes and the<br />
industry that we are lucky enough to be part of.<br />
Which family member is always there to diffuse any<br />
hostile situations that may arise?<br />
Mum is probably the most consistent, however we<br />
all take turns at this role!<br />
If you weren’t working at Ruby, what career path<br />
would you have chosen?<br />
I have made my own clothes since I was 13<br />
(although back then they were more like “clothes”)<br />
so clothing has always been a part of who I am. If<br />
I wasn’t in the clothing industry I would still be in<br />
a creative industry of some description – it is just<br />
natural for me to make things, and that is where I get<br />
my energy from.<br />
How do you spend your free time as a family?<br />
Mum and Dad have a house at Whiritoa on the<br />
Coromandel so that’s the best time for us to<br />
properly connect as family members rather than<br />
work colleagues. However, we truly love food so<br />
sitting together around the dining table has always<br />
been an important part of our family dynamic.<br />
How do you spend your weekend?<br />
My primetime starts at 4.20pm Friday and goes until<br />
4.20pm Saturday. I love this time because I feel so<br />
free. I listen to Kim Hill every Saturday morning, go<br />
out for dinner or to a concert with friends, read,<br />
paint, cook.<br />
How would you describe your home’s style? Is it<br />
similar to that of your fashion style?<br />
I’m quite a sentimental person and I live in a onebedroom<br />
apartment with my husband so a word to<br />
describe my place is “full”! I am drawn to pieces that<br />
have strong colours, materials and shapes, or have an<br />
element of craft.<br />
What music would you find playing in the Ruby<br />
office? Do you all agree on it?<br />
It’s such a mix! Myself and our marketing executive,<br />
Ima, curate the office playlist.<br />

RUBY HEAD OF MARKETING &<br />
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT<br />
Do you all work from the same office?<br />
We sure do – we work from our head<br />
office in Grey Lynn, Auckland, and all live<br />
very close by, which makes our morning<br />
commute dreamy!<br />
How would you describe working so<br />
closely with family?<br />
Equal parts amazing mixed with interesting!<br />
Did you all fall into your individual roles<br />
naturally?<br />
It has been a natural evolution into our<br />
current roles. Emily has always had a passion<br />
for making clothes whilst I’ve always had<br />
more of a love for the forward-facing side<br />
of the fashion industry.<br />
What challenges have you faced in New<br />
Zealand fashion retail?<br />
The fashion industry is ever evolving so<br />
every day we are adapting as a business,<br />
which makes it an incredibly exciting<br />
industry to be a part of.<br />
We bought Ruby 11 years ago, at a time<br />
where online retail was in its infancy and<br />
conversations about sustainability were not<br />
being had – the industry that we know and<br />
love is one of the world’s most polluting<br />
industries so as a fashion business we are<br />
on a journey to understand the social and<br />
environmental impacts of our business<br />
practices and products. This is something<br />
we are passionate about – there is no<br />
overnight fix, however, we are committed<br />
to transitioning to a more sustainable reality.<br />
What brand would you most like to<br />
collaborate with?<br />
There are so many beauty brands doing<br />
amazing things, such as Drunk Elephant,<br />
Summer Fridays and Glossier, who we<br />
always have our eyes on.<br />
Where has been your favourite family<br />
holiday destination?<br />
As well as the family beach house in<br />
Whiritoa, we have had a few special trips to<br />
India as a family that I will cherish forever!<br />
What is your favourite meal to cook<br />
together?<br />
Our father was born and raised in New<br />
Delhi, India, with British/Indian parents, so<br />
we are definitely known for Sharma curry<br />
nights in our house!<br />
Where would you all choose to dine out?<br />
Why?<br />
Prego in Auckland’s Ponsonby is a firm<br />
favourite – they always get it so right.

REINVENTING THE HEEL<br />
The cyclical world of fashion loves to revisit old favourites. Such is the<br />
case with the New Beginnings range from ECCO Shoes, which reinvents<br />
iconic sneakers from the past for spring/summer 19.<br />
Sneak a spring in your step<br />
Spring is a season of new beginnings for nature and a time<br />
when we look afresh at the world around us. Nature, and<br />
its many colours, tones, shapes and textures, has always<br />
been a driving force at ECCO. But the inspiration is not<br />
just superficial. Late founder Karl Toosbuy knew the foot<br />
should always come first, so he created anatomical lasts that<br />
follow its natural curves, and offer the best possible wearing<br />
experience. Spare a glance at your feet as your step into<br />
the new season and ask yourself ‘could they be happier’? If<br />
the answer is ‘yes’, it‘s time to refresh and renew your shoe<br />
wardrobe.<br />
How do you improve on best-selling sneakers?<br />
Essentially, ECCO’s designers have come up with fresh takes<br />
on classic silhouettes in its New Beginnings range, introducing<br />
new styles and colourways to have both men and women<br />
walking into spring in style.<br />
Men can look forward to an upgrade of one of ECCO’s<br />
most beloved sneakers. The new Collin 2.0 model is slimmer<br />
than the original, with a more relaxed and modern last shape.<br />
The heel height has been raised 3mm to eliminate any feeling<br />
of ‘sinking’ back into the shoe. Contemporary handcrafted<br />
details and new, rich premium leather with suede and nubuck<br />
panels complete the makeover of Collin into the perfect<br />
relaxed, yet refined shoe choice. For a more formal style, opt<br />
for the version decorated with perforations in the style of a<br />
classic brogue.<br />
What colours are in for the new season?<br />
Collin 2.0 for men features a fresh, yet timeless colour palate<br />
of black and coffee, navy and marine, warm grey and cognac<br />
or classic white.<br />
While for women, the greys of winter are emphatically<br />
shaken off in the bright new colour palette of the sporty<br />
ECCO Vibration 1.0 range. Transform your mood and your<br />
look, striding out in the soft red of the Petal lace-up sneaker<br />
or zingy Retro Blue ballet flat. For those not so bold, yet still<br />
after a youthful look go Concrete or Shadow White. Good<br />
vibrations are promised across the range thanks to the ultramodern<br />
and astoundingly light, shock absorbent and flexible<br />
sole. Combined with quality leather and suede construction<br />
that’s naturally soft, light and breathable you’re looking at allday<br />
comfort in an energetic style that’s right on trend.<br />

companies under one roof for one<br />

the mix. ““Our aim is to have as wide<br />
of a range of companies involved with<br />

over the last couple of years that there<br />
is more demand from small business<br />
owners that run their companies in<br />
their spare time selling gorgeous things.<br />
It’s no longer just the bigger established<br />
businesses,” says Renee Murray from<br />
NZME Events. “This is what makes our<br />
expo quite varied. We have artisan<br />
crafters exhibiting alongside national<br />
brands like Vivo Hair or Suzuki.”<br />
Renee says it is great to see all the<br />
various women visit the show, from<br />
teenagers to business women, mothers<br />
to grandmothers and friends “simply<br />
enjoying each other’s company”.<br />
This year the expo includes a Fashion<br />
Zone, Vivo Hair Styling Lounge, Reefton<br />
Distilling Gin & Spirit Lounge plus the<br />
popular Taste Zone, Artisan Craft<br />
Zone, Fashion Zone, goodie bags and<br />
more.<br />

MAKEUP<br />
There’s plenty of change in the makeup world, but what<br />
model looks can you make your own?<br />
Words Kate Preece<br />
The good news is that<br />
you don’t have to<br />
apply lashings of glitter to<br />
be on trend this season.<br />
There are other options.<br />
In fact, once you’ve sifted<br />
past the more avant-garde<br />
looks – face appliques<br />
and bleached eyebrows<br />
– you’ll find some rather<br />
accessible styles. So, arm<br />
yourself with a steady<br />
hand, breathe in and step<br />
into a new palette.

COLOUR ME CRAZY<br />
A hard pill to swallow for southern<br />
fashionistas, but it’s time to break out of<br />
black and embrace another season of<br />
colour. Consider a boldly coloured lip or<br />
even a dash of colour on the eye. When<br />
you do, remember, it will be important<br />
you fix any bright shades in place – so<br />
don’t skimp on the primers and consider a<br />
setting spray if you fear your makeup will<br />
make a run for it. It’s much harder to carry<br />
off streaks of wandering purple or orange.<br />

SMUDGE IT OR JUST<br />
WING IT<br />
The smudge is back. The ‘80s<br />
trend returns, knocking out the<br />
sharp liner look with one that’s<br />
more smoky – and so much easier<br />
to apply. Take one long-wear liner,<br />
apply, then smudge with a brush<br />
to ensure it’s less crisp and much<br />
softer. No steady hands necessary<br />
and slip-ups blended away with a<br />
casual brushstroke or two.<br />

However… don’t pack<br />
away your pencil sharpener<br />

The eye wing is still a thing.<br />
How it is changing this<br />

it’s getting thicker. Imagine<br />
swapping your pencil for<br />
a highlighter and you can<br />
see how fine lines have<br />
become a thing of the past.<br />

SO CHEEKY<br />
Been chained to the desk too long to<br />
share the naturally sun-kissed look of<br />
winter escapees? Spring is here and with<br />
it comes a good excuse to add colour<br />
the sun-smart way – with a bit of a blush<br />
going on. Warm peach is a surprisingly<br />
usable option and can lend to a romantic,<br />
soft look, especially when paired with<br />
similarly toned lippie, or go bold with hot<br />
pinks to be more playful and frivolous,<br />
matching that frilly fashion in stores.<br />
Warm colours on the apples of your<br />
cheeks will turn up the heat, while<br />
bronzer should remain restricted to the<br />
top of your nose and across the cheeks.<br />
Charlize Theron.<br />
SAY IT WITH RED<br />
Red lippie just doesn’t get old. However, how<br />
it’s applied does. Whether you call it ‘diffused’<br />
or ‘just kissed’, using a brush to apply your<br />
colour or leaning on those lippies with a matte<br />
finish, will mean it’s all a little more blurred<br />
between the lines – exactly as it should be. It’s<br />
all about the imperfect finish currently, which is<br />
terribly convenient. I certainly wouldn’t take it<br />
to the extreme to get the so-called ‘snogging’<br />
effect this look has evolved into, but leaning<br />
more towards a lip stain can be a nice change.<br />
Then, there are the shades. The brick tone<br />
is in, but as <strong>2019</strong> was decreed the year for<br />
coral, if you follow what Pantone says (Living<br />
Coral being its Colour of the Year), a hint of<br />
pinky-orange is truly encouraged. Whatever<br />
you do, with lips like these, you should count<br />
on them doing all the talking.<br />

ALL ABOUT APPEARANCES<br />
Transform Clinic’s Dr Ian Little was the first to use Botox cosmetically in New Zealand.<br />
We asked Christchurch’s appearance medicine expert about changing attitudes and<br />
options when it comes to enhancing our skin without surgery.<br />
You’ve been an appearance medicine practitioner for more<br />
than 30 years; what do you regard as your personal speciality?<br />
We have fantastic results with clients who regularly visit<br />
Transform’s Christchurch or Dunedin clinics, or my monthly<br />
consultations in Queenstown clinics. We encourage clients<br />
to do a little, often, for the best outcome, which also<br />
spreads the cost of treatment. I like working out the best<br />
combinations and plan for several treatments to:<br />
1. improve skin quality;<br />
2. shape the face to a youthful shape;<br />
3. enhance the eyes and the lips; and<br />
4. always try to minimise blemishes such as brown spots,<br />
red veins and wrinkles<br />
Have you seen the demand for dermal fillers and<br />
Botox increase since you first started offering this in<br />
New Zealand?<br />
Our industry is booming. Market researchers predict the<br />
global facial injectable market, which was US$7,125.65 million<br />
in 2017, will balloon 165 per cent by 2026. Facial injectables<br />
are the most popular non-surgical procedure in the US with<br />
botulinium (Botox and Dysport) twice as popular as the next<br />
most requested non-surgical face lift option, hyaluronic acid.<br />
Facial injectables include dermal fillers, as well as synthetic<br />
fillers. New Zealanders have embraced non-surgical options<br />
and the number of treatments we’ve delivered has grown<br />
5-10%, with many new operators entering the market.<br />
Has the attitude to such treatments changed?<br />
Yes, it’s certainly more acceptable now. Also market demand<br />
has widened from primarily women aged 35-60 to men and<br />
a wider age range of women desiring non-surgical options to<br />
rejuvenate their skin. The trick is to not overdo it.<br />
How do we avoid looking artificial?<br />
The artificial look and freezing faces have nothing to do<br />
with the tools of Botox and fillers. It is whom that is using<br />
these tools that you need to be aware of. If you play any<br />
instrument you know that anyone can press a key, blow<br />
into a mouthpiece or strike a string. But, it has nothing<br />
to do with music. How frozen or natural someone looks<br />
is technique dependent. We are known for our natural<br />
administration and use of specific techniques to capture the<br />
essence of each client.<br />
Are there any new or improved treatments that are<br />
impressing you currently?<br />
I love working with skin quality programmes such as our Glo<br />
and Go Fotona Laser Fotofacial programme. Most recently<br />
I’ve been excited by Profhilo (great for solving ‘tech neck’) a<br />
new hydrating and skin tightening product from Italy.<br />

Transform Clinic?<br />

PERMANENTLY PRETTY<br />
We talk with Wake Up With Make Up’s new South Island licensee<br />
Miranda Hill about the art of micropigmentation, otherwise known as<br />
permanent makeup, and her talent for creating facial masterpieces.<br />
What does a micropigmentation artist do?<br />
Also known as permanent makeup and cosmetic tattooing,<br />
micropigmentation is an advanced form of tattooing<br />
in which medical-grade pigments are infused into the<br />
dermal layer of the skin using pre- sterilised needles. The<br />
technique creates a shadow of colour that perfectly mimics<br />
applied makeup in soft natural tones of colour. I thrive<br />
off creating a customised brow that suits the shape and<br />
style of your face, with eyeliner and lips being popular<br />
treatments as well.<br />
How does your varied beauty experience contribute to<br />
your micropigmentation work?<br />
As a micropigmentation artist, it is vital to understand the<br />
skin, the different textures, pigments and enhancements.<br />
My experience specialising in age prevention, acne and<br />
pigmentation and alongside appearance medicine nurses<br />
is hugely beneficial for knowing the techniques used and<br />
the placing of the facial muscles. Combining that with my<br />
experience as a makeup artist, knowing the shapes of<br />
clients’ facial features and how to define them, is a huge<br />
advantage for doing cosmetic tattooing.<br />
When did you know that the beauty industry was the<br />
place for you?<br />
When I was about 10 years old… I would go into my<br />
parents’ bathroom and mix up potions like toothpaste and<br />
cleanser and put them on as a face mask! It’s in my blood!<br />
At age 14 I began working for my sister in her hairdressing<br />
salon and there was a beauty therapist working there, so I<br />
guess it all just thrived from there.<br />
What has been a highlight of your 26 year career so far?<br />
It has all been a highlight, however my seven years at<br />
Millbrook Resort in Arrowtown would have to be up<br />
there. I began working out of one room at the Millbrook<br />
gym, from there I grew an amazing team of girls from all<br />
parts of the globe to become voted 6th best spa in the<br />
world. And, of course, having worldwide celebrities to do<br />
treatments on was a definite highlight! The clients I have<br />
met along the way and their stories they share are also a<br />
highlight for me.<br />
What does it mean for you now to be a licensee of the<br />
national Wake Up With Make Up?<br />
I am excited to join a family business with Michelle and<br />
Kirsty (mother and daughter), and recently my own<br />
daughter Charmaine joining our team to concentrate on<br />
Central Otago clients. We see an opportunity to grow<br />
the Wake Up With Make Up brand and remain at the<br />
forefront of the NZ permanent cosmetics industry through<br />
continuing education, advancing our knowledge on current<br />
technology and fashion trends and always meeting and<br />
exceeding regulations.<br />
How do you split your time between Christchurch,<br />
Queenstown and Invercargill?<br />
With lots of multivitamins!! I am very fortunate to have<br />
a great support network in all three places. When I’m<br />
working I have a team cooking my dinners and running<br />
around after me and get lots of grandchildren hugs.<br />

DERMAL DETOX<br />
We usually associate the word ‘detox’ with diet and the elimination<br />
of certain foods, but it applies equally to the skin.<br />
Words Clemency Alice
82 STYLE | beauty<br />
T<br />
he skin is the body's largest organ and because<br />
of its continual exposure to the external<br />
elements and pollutants, we need to provide our<br />
skin with a seasonal detox. This will enable the<br />
release of any toxins, boost oxygen in the cells and<br />
get skin back to its optimum condition.<br />
There are various methods for approaching a<br />
detox for the skin. The Japanese Skincare Revolution,<br />
written by Japanese beauty expert Chizu Saeki,<br />
suggests doing a ‘skin fast’ once a week. This means<br />
avoiding product and makeup on your face for 24<br />
hours, and performing a simplified routine of washing<br />
your face with water.<br />
Another approach is to take advantage of<br />
New Zealand’s geothermal activity and privileged<br />
access to thermal hot springs. The sulphur pools<br />
at Maruia Hot Springs resort – just 200km north<br />
of Christchurch – are a blissful escape from the<br />
hustle and bustle of the city and will provide your<br />
skin with the ultimate skin detox. Nestled amongst<br />
native bush in a flourishing sheltered valley in the<br />
Lewis Pass, the thermal spring pools are infused with<br />
natural minerals and trace elements that assist in<br />
detoxifying the body and skin.<br />
La Prairie’s SOS solution to recharging and<br />
detoxifying the skin is their Cellular Power Infusion,<br />
Comprised of three patent-pending biotechnologies<br />
and the exclusive Cellular Complex, this 28 to 40<br />
day seasonal booster treatment works effectively<br />
through energising, renewing and rebuilding the skin.<br />
This is presented in four small vials, in which the<br />
actives are combined then released once activated.<br />
Take advantage of New Zealand’s<br />
geothermal activity and privileged access to<br />
thermal hot springs.
Another highly effective skin<br />
detox solution is Gatineau’s Renew<br />
7 Detox Serum. This intensive<br />
purifying seven-day treatment for the<br />
skin will revive tired and devitalised<br />
skin, boosting your skin’s natural<br />
detoxifying action. Enriched with<br />
a sophisticated formula of AHAs,<br />
Peptides and Vitamin C, your skin<br />
is flushed of toxins, leaving it deeply<br />
cleansed, bright and healthy.<br />
Dry body brushing for only a few<br />
minutes each day (before showering<br />
or bathing) will miraculously<br />
transform your skin. This simple<br />
detox ritual sloughs away dead<br />
skin cells and detoxifies through<br />
stimulating the lymphatic system.<br />
Elemis Body Detox Skin Brush<br />
made from natural cactus bristle<br />
enhances this proven skin treatment<br />
through improving the texture and<br />
tone of the skin.<br />
Using clay-based masks once a<br />
week provides an instant, effective<br />
method of drawing out toxins<br />
whilst clarifying and firming the skin.<br />
Sodashi’s stellar Brightening Mineral<br />
Mask both detoxifies AND revitalises<br />
the skin with its ‘three types of clay’<br />
and marine mineral-rich content of<br />
seaweed and spirulina. Using this<br />
mask as your weekend beauty ritual<br />
will leave your skin looking plumper,<br />
softer and more radiant.<br />
When detoxing your skin from<br />
the outside, remember to maintain<br />
internal health with organic seasonal<br />
fruit and vegetables and a balanced<br />
well-nourished diet. This will only<br />
enhance the benefits, resulting in a<br />
more glowing, restored and revived<br />
skin for spring.<br />

and the outcome you are wanting.<br />
From there, understanding all angles,<br />
we will be able to make an educated<br />
decision on which of our team would<br />
be best suited for you and your hair.<br />
Consider what’s important<br />
People often dismiss how important<br />
it is to be using the correct hair<br />
products, not just for your individual<br />
hair type but for the benefit of your<br />
overall health. No one head of hair is<br />
the same, therefore you should have<br />
an individual routine to get the best<br />
out of your hair type, think of it like<br />
a skincare routine, everyone’s skin<br />
is different and needs different care,<br />
your hair works the same.<br />
Not only do we need to be aware of<br />
what we are using on our head for our<br />
hair’s sake, but for our overall health.<br />
When you wash your hair, whatever<br />
you use washes over your whole body<br />
seeping into your scalp and skin. It’s the<br />
same for styling products, they don’t<br />
just stop with your head – you use<br />
your hands to apply them, therefore<br />
they also get into your skin.<br />
Our salon is environmentally<br />
friendly along with our products and<br />
their packaging. We are doing our<br />
best to contribute to positive change<br />

guilt-free!<br />
Take it slowly<br />
You only have one head of hair,<br />
remember to treat it wisely and<br />
carefully. Don’t rush into anything and<br />
remember to listen to your stylist’s<br />
advice when it comes to a dramatic<br />
change; it can definitely be achieved<br />
but make sure to allow time to be able<br />
to do the full process correctly.<br />
Only use good products<br />
A lot of hair products contain<br />
parabens, sulphates and other nasty<br />
chemicals that not only ruin your hair<br />
health but have carceogens in them<br />
that you don’t want coming in contact<br />

do you have? Treat yours with the<br />
ultimate care! Our New Zealand<br />
made MHC (Mike Hair Care) product<br />
range is 100% natural with no nasty<br />
chemicals. It also contains keratin from<br />
NZ sheep wool, which is a protein that<br />
penetrates the hair follicle repairing it<br />
from inside out.<br />

Quality over quantity<br />
Don’t mistake 1000 thread count sheets with<br />
necessarily the highest quality. Unless woven<br />
with very fine threads you may feel like you’re<br />
slipping between the tablecloths.<br />
“In my opinion, thread count on its own<br />
does not tell the entire quality story,” says Bed<br />
and Bath Buyer for Ballantynes Deb Hymers-<br />
Ross, explaining the measurement of quality is<br />
subjective. Do you measure this by sheets that<br />
are going to last for years, not shrink, fade, pill<br />
or wear out? If so, choose percale.<br />
“If you do not like the feel of a thicker, crisp,<br />
often cool-to-the-touch sheet and measure<br />
quality by the ‘aha’ moment when you first get<br />
in to a comfortable bed, followed by a good<br />
night’s sleep, you’ll prefer sateen.<br />
“In my experience you are one or the other,<br />
a percale or a sateen customer.”<br />
Egyptian cotton<br />
It’s considered to be the best in the world<br />
because of its long, smooth fibres that produce<br />
a fine yarn that is strong and less likely<br />
to pill. However, Consumer New Zealand<br />
warns much of what is labelled Egyptian cotton<br />
also contains cotton grown elsewhere. For the<br />
real deal, look for the Egyptian Government’s<br />
seal of authenticity (as below).<br />
The new Victoria range from Lala Linen, which imports<br />
genuine Eygyptian cotton linen made in Egypt.<br />
Delicate florals feature in Wallace Cotton’s new spring collection in the Allegra floral toile<br />
print, above, in soft blues and white, and Dovetail, a lightweight organic cotton quilt.<br />
Organic cotton<br />
The trend to living more organically is also<br />
manifesting in bed linen. A growing number of<br />
brands, including Wallace Cotton and Sheridan,<br />
have introduced organic cotton products<br />
into their ranges or moved away from plastic<br />
packaging to self-packaging in fabric. Organic<br />
cotton is grown without the use of pesticides<br />
or fertilisers and won’t undergo chemical<br />
treatments, like mercerising to increase lustre.<br />
Look for the GOTS (Global Organic Textile<br />
Standard) certification that requires a minimum<br />
of 95 per cent organic fibres. “Having seen<br />
and felt the finished products made in organic<br />
cotton I cannot see any detriment to the<br />
finished product, nor loss of luxury,” says Deb<br />
Hymers-Ross. “If we choose only natural fibres<br />
we assist the environment every time we wash<br />
our sheets. The chemicals used to produce<br />
synthetic fabrics break down in the wash and<br />
their effects have been seen in our oceans as<br />
far away as Antarctica.”

Too tight!<br />
We’re getting bigger. Our mattresses are too, and<br />
when you upgrade you’ll likely need to upsize your<br />
bedding. Twelve years ago the standard drop on<br />
a fitted sheet was 34cm and it is now 45 to 50cm<br />
thanks to ‘pillow top’ cushioning and padding. Pillow<br />
cases have increased two centimetres in each<br />
direction so a loftier pillow is required to fill the new<br />
50 x 75cm standard.<br />
Both Ballantynes and McKenzie & Willis report<br />
their best-selling size has moved from Queen to<br />
King, while the most luxuriously sized bed, the<br />
California King – as long as it is wide at 203cm<br />
square – is now commonly seen in bedding<br />
showrooms. “Customers want bigger beds for<br />
less heat transfer, less chance of roll-together and<br />
less partner disturbance,” says McKenzie & Willis’<br />
Bedding Manager Allan Walton.<br />
Also watch out for that tricky bedroom issue,<br />
shrinkage. Monique Bohnenn of Lala Linen advises<br />
an average cotton product will shrink 6-8% after<br />
washing at high temperature. Lower temperature<br />
washing at 30–40°C will cause less shrinkage.<br />
Too hot!<br />
Allan Walton reports growing demand for cooler<br />
beds as New Zealand homes become warmer<br />
through extra insulation and Cantabrians move into<br />
better insulated rebuild homes. He says most topend<br />
beds now feature cooling foam technologies,<br />
cooling fabrics, natural fibres or even breathable<br />
gussets on the pillow tops (Sealy Posturepedic).<br />
“Make sure your new mattress has a breathable<br />
natural fibre such as wool, silk, cashmere, Angora or<br />
alpaca. A bed needs to breathe so that it is warm in<br />
winter and cool in summer,” he says. For sleeping<br />
luxury at a new level, he says coming in a few<br />
months are Ultra Luxurious Hand Tufted Beds from<br />
King Koil. These will be the only New Zealand-made<br />
hand-tufted beds.<br />

Linen lore<br />
Thread count: the number of threads both vertically<br />
and horizontally per 10cm 2 . The lower the number the<br />
looser the weave (think muslin); more closely woven<br />
fabric (minimum 180 thread count) wears better and<br />
shrinks less.<br />
Percale: closely woven (at least 225 threads per 10cm 2 )<br />
fabric with an equal number of warp (vertical) and weft<br />
(horizontal) threads woven in a square pattern. More<br />
hard-wearing than sateen because the fabric is equally<br />
strong in both directions, it’s less prone to pilling and<br />
changing of shape.<br />
Sateen: smoother, shinier and silkier twill fabric woven<br />
by weaving one warp (vertical) yarn across several weft<br />
yarns diagonally.<br />

Dyson’s new V11 cord-free vacuum is ideal<br />
for sucking dirt out of mattresses.<br />
Just right<br />
Along with general posture, our choice of mattress and<br />
pillows are very important for spinal health, says Dr<br />
Cassandra Fairest of the New Zealand Chiropractors’<br />
Association. “If we aren’t getting good quality sleep, then our<br />
nervous systems aren’t effectively able to regulate, rest and<br />
rejuvenate our bodies during the night,” she says.<br />
But short of sleeping the night in a department store, or<br />
the three bears’ house, how can we get our mattress choice<br />
just right?<br />
A good place to start is visiting the online bed selectors<br />
offered by major manufacturers and retailers. These will<br />
prompt you for your comfort preferences, sleeping positions<br />
and issues and make recommendations to suit. Once you’re<br />
more informed, it’s less daunting to visit the showroom<br />
where a sleep specialist, like Allan Walton, will pepper you<br />
with similar questions to narrow the selection to three or<br />
four beds before you get to play Goldilocks.<br />
“I would advise my customers that I will need them instore<br />
for 45 minutes to an hour and to please come wearing<br />
comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so that they can judge the<br />
feel of the bed,” he says. “Try the bed in your main sleeping<br />
position – for most of us it is on our side – and ensure the<br />
pillow on the sample mattress is the correct height for you<br />
and use this same pillow on all the mattress choices. Once<br />
you have found a mattress that you like please spend 15<br />
minutes lying on it in the showroom.”<br />
When you list<br />
with me, you’ll<br />
be at the top<br />
of my list.<br />

Wallace Cotton’s new Lisbon Duvet Set.<br />
Pillow talk<br />
Leading hotels are genuinely on to something when<br />
they offer a pillow menu. Our experts all agree the<br />
right pillow loft (or height) and support to suit different<br />
sleeping positions is as vital to a good night’s sleep<br />
as your mattress, and a simple way to avoid spinal<br />
problems and nervous system agitation. (See Which<br />
pillow?) As for pillow fill, Dr Fairest recommends natural<br />
fibres as they allow us to breathe better. Synthetic<br />
fibres aren’t great for our airways, she says, and can<br />
contribute to excess sweating as well as other health<br />
hazards. A lot of natural fibres are also hypoallergenic<br />
for those with allergies.<br />
Which pillow?<br />
Different sleeping positions require different lofts<br />
for optimal head and spine alignment. The NZ<br />
Chiropractors’ Association’s Dr Cassandra Fairest<br />
recommends:<br />
Back sleepers: Generally considered to be the best<br />
position alignment-wise as not as much neck support is<br />
necessary; need the lower side of a firm ‘contour’ pillow.<br />
Side sleepers: Good for posture and spinal health, while<br />
pregnant, and for anyone who tends to snore when on<br />
their back. To support the neck in a neutral position<br />
(nose approximately in the centreline of the body)<br />
choose firm, higher pillows (try latex or foam).<br />
Stomach sleepers: Best suited to a soft, lower pillow<br />
(good options: synthetic, wool-fibre, feather and down).<br />
Not recommended if you have any lower back pain, as<br />
it puts the lumbar spine into extension.<br />
Combination sleepers: Contour pillows that offer a<br />
high and low side are great, but unless you’re going to<br />
flip the pillow around every time you turn over, they’re<br />
not that much use! A medium-height pillow that allows<br />
for any position is probably the most appropriate.<br />

Going topless<br />
Like it or loathe it, we are slowly but surely<br />
adopting the European way of dispensing with a<br />
top sheet and just having the duvet cover next<br />
to the skin, says Deb Hymers-Ross. This is good<br />
for retailers as more duvet covers are required,<br />
she says, but with most sheets in New Zealand<br />
still sold as sets (with a redundant top sheet) it<br />
can be an issue for customers. Also, single fitted<br />
sheets are not currently readily available much<br />
beyond classic white.<br />
Use-by dates<br />
You might be surprised to learn that, just like<br />
your toothbrush and milk, your pillows have a<br />
‘use by’ date. Generally they are past their best<br />
within three years, only one year if synthetic,<br />
because of the build-up of dust mites and mildew<br />
and breakdown of the fibres that support our<br />
heads, which weigh 4-5 kilos. When your pillows<br />
no longer spring back into shape to fill the gap<br />
between your shoulder and head or you’re<br />
waking up with a stiff neck, it’s time to replace<br />
them, says Dr Fairest.<br />
For mattresses, she says a good rule of thumb<br />
is to consider replacing it after 10 years. If you’re<br />
waking with spinal pain or your bed has rolltogether<br />
it’s time to look at a replacement. And<br />
perhaps book an assessment with a chiropractor.<br />

Be gentle<br />
Quality bedding doesn’t come cheap so look<br />
after your investment. Both mattresses and<br />
pillows will last longer and be healthier fitted with<br />
protectors. Give your pillow a good shake daily<br />
to fluff it up and kill any dust mites. Check the<br />
label to see if it can be gently machine-washed.<br />
“The importance of a mattress protector<br />
shouldn’t be underestimated,” says Allan Walton,<br />
citing studies showing that after five years, up<br />
to half the weight of an unprotected mattress is<br />
made up of bodily fluids, skin cells, bacteria and<br />
mould. Ick! Also heed the manufacturer’s advice<br />
on how often to rotate your mattress to extend<br />
its lifespan.<br />
Air your bed by removing all linen and<br />
protectors and vacuum the mattress regularly to<br />
prevent any dust from settling into the fibres.<br />
As for feathers and down duvets, M.M. Linen’s<br />
Kerry Jackson advises a duvet inner should be<br />
aired at least monthly. “Just hang it outside on a<br />
clear sunny day or just inside your windows in<br />
the winter. It is also good to give it a good shake<br />
weekly for maximum lofting and warmth. They<br />
can be hand-washed or gentle machine-washed<br />
but must be rinsed well, and then line dried.”

My cousin Didi is coming to New Zealand from Holland<br />
and has booked a typical bus tour throughout the<br />
country. You know the type – one town, one day, then onto<br />
the next. A bit like those European bus tours.<br />
This got me thinking about architectural highlights that<br />
could be checked out on such a tour, or perhaps on a<br />
personalised Dalman architectural tour.<br />
So, I’ve put together my own Top 10 buildings of<br />
architectural quality or interest that could be seen on a round<br />
trip from Christchurch, across to the West Coast, then back<br />
up the east coast of the South Island.<br />
1. Mathematics, Statistics and<br />

On the way out west, visit the<br />
University of Canterbury and check<br />
out this building by Architectus. The<br />
eastern façade reminds me of buildings<br />
by American architect Louis Kahn, and<br />
is separated from the glazed eastern<br />
façade that overlooks the river, by a<br />
central atrium space.

Creating the perfect path<br />
A path’s purpose is not just in its functionality,<br />
but in the definition, structure and style it adds<br />
to areas around your home.<br />
Planning your Path<br />
To create a pathway, you first need to decide its purpose<br />
and where you plan to lead people. The most common<br />
reason for creating a path is practicality. A practical path<br />
leads to locations such as clotheslines, vegetable gardens,<br />
wood piles, barbeque areas, or garden sheds, and provides<br />
access to the home. A path may have aesthetic properties,<br />
but its main purpose may be to stop mud being tramped<br />
into the home from a well-beaten track.<br />
Path Material<br />
Choosing the right material and pathway style for your<br />
garden involves several factors, including the volume of<br />
traffic, your budget and the style of your garden. Popular<br />
path styles include stone mulch, paving, stepping-stones<br />
and concrete. With so many products and options on the<br />
market there is no need for your path to just be a ‘path’; it<br />
can also become a design feature and a talking point in<br />
your landscape.<br />
STONES: Stone mulch paths are the most cost-effective<br />
option. Select a decorative stone type that will complement<br />
other features in the garden. Consider the shape and size<br />
of the stone you select; pathways that get a lot of summer<br />
foot traffic will need smooth, round stones for bare feet.<br />
PAVERS: If you want the “wow” factor, we recommend laying<br />
pavers. With a huge range of pavers available, including<br />
stone, schist and granite, you can be assured of having<br />
a path that looks great and stands the test of time.<br />
STEPPING STONES: These are suited to most situations<br />
and are a versatile option. Create a functional and<br />
attractive path by combining stone mulch and pavers for<br />
a stepping stone look.<br />
CONCRETE: With so many colours and finishing options<br />
available, a concrete path can enhance your overall<br />
landscaping and doesn’t need to look plain. The great thing<br />
about concrete paths is that there is no chance for weeds<br />
to grow, and little to no maintenance is required.<br />
For help in selecting and installing the right path for your<br />
property, the Oderings Landscaping team are just a phone<br />
call away. Call or email us now to book your free measure<br />

SEASONAL<br />
CHANGE<br />
Trends in the garden come and go as our tastes for certain<br />
palettes and plants change with the years.<br />

STYLE | landscaping 107<br />

Like a lot of other disciplines, landscape design<br />
is subject to changes in fashion over years<br />
and decades. I always find it fascinating to visit a<br />
Christchurch garden built 30 or 40 years ago and see<br />
what the designer was drawing back then.<br />
Gardens were often highlighted with curved<br />
paths, and perfectly laid out red brick paving in<br />
concentric circles. They were typically planted with<br />
lots of flowering azaleas, rhodos and the occasional<br />
introduction of a native pittosporum. Some had<br />
sizeable areas of gravel with a slight nod to a<br />
Japanese aesthetic. The outdoor spaces were often a<br />
lot smaller with a real intimate, ‘plant-rich’ feel.<br />
Such gardens sit in strong contrast to most of what<br />
we see being designed today. The modern approach<br />
features harder, straight lines with higher native plant<br />
content and more expansive hard surfaces. Today’s<br />
garden designers could take a little inspiration from<br />
our predecessors’ work and try incorporating a few<br />
more curves into our contemporary layouts.<br />
In Europe, contemporary garden design is still<br />
being influenced by the likes of Dutch landscape<br />
architect Piet Oudolf and the ‘New Perennial’<br />
movement (naturalistic planting). As seen in the<br />
urban Lurie Garden in Chicago, a wide range of<br />
new and old flowering perennials are being superbly<br />
blended with tall grasses, creating large, sprawling,<br />
romantic-looking meadow plantings.<br />
Flowers have been somewhat out of step with<br />
garden design in Canterbury for some time now.<br />
Perhaps this coming season we’ll see a swing towards<br />
more flowering perennials.<br />

THE QUEEN OF FLOWERS<br />
One of the flowers due for a comeback is the<br />
rose. Cantabrians like the odd white ‘Iceberg’<br />
or ‘Margaret Merril’, but, as a whole, we don’t<br />
branch out much further than that.<br />
A trip to the rose garden at the Botanic<br />
Gardens in summer reveals a kaleidoscope of<br />
colour and crowds of admirers taking photos,<br />
sniffing scents and taking in the beauty of the<br />
crowned ‘queen of flowers’.<br />
Probably my favourite find last time I visited<br />
was Rosa ‘Lemon ‘N Lime’ – a floribunda<br />
with good disease resistance and, as its name<br />
suggests, soft lemon blooms with tinges of green.<br />
If you wanted to give a rose a go again, try<br />
choosing a grafted standard rose (so you don’t<br />
have to bend down to it). Explore the massive<br />
range of colour, shape and scent at your local<br />
garden centre or grower – you’re sure to find<br />
something you find quite beautiful to take pride<br />
of place in a sunny spot at your place.<br />

FASHIONABLE ART<br />
The rise to stardom of Chinese<br />
designer Guo Pei came, in part,<br />
on the heels of Rihanna. In 2015,<br />
when the Met Gala’s theme was<br />
‘China: Through the Looking Glass’,<br />
Rihanna’s people stumbled upon<br />
Guo and a cape first worn on a<br />
catwalk in 2012. Weighing 25kg<br />
and stretching five-metres long, the<br />
model didn’t make it to the end<br />
of the runway. However, three<br />
years later, Rihanna didn’t miss a<br />
step. Featuring 50,000 hours’ worth<br />
of hand embroidery, it took two<br />
years to make this dress, which<br />
currently forms part of an exhibition<br />
at Singapore’s Asian Civilisation’s<br />
Museum (until 15 <strong>September</strong>).<br />

promoting violence against women as opposed to<br />
a critique of patriarchy), the true-to-form room-size<br />

from the company’s success that, just last year,<br />
saw her bank balance increase by $7.1 billion.<br />

her 94-year-old mother two years ago, she is<br />

cooking classes Thai food is one of the best cuisines<br />
in the world – like really. What better way to appreciate<br />
the cuisine than learning how to cook aromatic dishes in a<br />
fun environment. Best of all bring the recipes back home<br />
to recreate with your family and friends.<br />
RoofTop BaRs Bangkok has a plethora of these bars<br />

Relax & Renew Massages are part of everyday life<br />
in Thailand. You can get one on the beach or go to a<br />
high end spa – the choice is yours. Or if you really want<br />
to renew the body, then there are plenty of Wellness<br />
resorts offering detox and yoga programmes. Leave your<br />
cellphone behind and get off the grid for a few days to<br />
really recharge the body.<br />

A FASHIONABLE PAIR<br />

Melbourne or Shanghai will have you shopping till you drop.<br />
Words Gaynor Stanley<br />
SHANGHAI<br />
With an insatiable appetite for fashion, Shanghai is often<br />
dubbed the Paris of the East. It celebrates its enthusiasm with<br />
Shanghai Fashion Week in March/April and street after street<br />
of glittering stores offering the definitive collection of the<br />
world’s most sought-after labels.<br />
Sartorial streets<br />
Nanjing Road: One of the world’s most famous shopping<br />
streets is neon-lined from the luxury brands housed in opulent<br />
malls at its western end to the pedestrianised eastern section<br />
approaching The Bund – where you can pop in to Three on<br />
the Bund for seven floors of glamorous European brands.<br />
Huaihai Road: Wear your comfiest sneakers to stride this<br />
six-kilometre haven for designer labels. Start your trek at IAPM<br />
Mall in the French Concession area, home to Stella McCartney,<br />
Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and more. Hit the Xintiandi<br />
neighbourhood for hip designer streetwear from local talents<br />
and luxury brands less conventional than the usual Shanghai<br />

collection of world-famous luxury brands,<br />
among them Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Bulgari,<br />

approximately 60 Comme des Garçons designs gifted to<br />
the NGV collection by a self-described ‘Comme tragic’<br />
Takamasa Takahashi and further loans from his personal<br />
archive. Rei Kawakubo founded Comme des Garçons in<br />
1969, with the intent to ‘make clothes that didn’t exist<br />
before’. Kawakubo upended notions of ideal beauty and<br />
gender with her intellectual and inventive approach,<br />
deconstructing conventional garment forms to introduce a<br />
new vocabulary into fashion, including oversized volumes,<br />
asymmetry, layering, imperfection and the use of, the very<br />
Melbourne, black. The exhibition will also include work by<br />
Rei Kawakubo’s protégés Junya Watanabe and Tao Kurihara.<br />

WHY, HELLO THERE,<br />
MERCEDES<br />
Kate Preece finds herself talking to her car.<br />
They say madness is not talking to yourself, but when<br />
you start responding. But, with technology becoming<br />
cleverer with every upgrade, it becomes acceptable to<br />
have open dialogue with inanimate objects, right?<br />
Ask the Mercedes-Benz A200 what the speed limit<br />
is and she’ll tell you. Ask her to turn on a reading light,<br />
the front window heating, the heated seats, and she’ll<br />
do so instantly. Once you find yourselves on the same<br />
wavelength, you’re away laughing.<br />
“Hey Mercedes, what’s the temperature?”<br />
“The outside temperature is 15 degrees.”<br />
“Hey, Mercedes, call Gran.”<br />
“I’m sorry, I don’t know your grandmother’s name yet.”<br />
She’s smart alright.<br />
This new Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)<br />
and its ‘Natural Voice Control’ accompanies the latest<br />
update, first rolled out in the top S-Class models last<br />
year. It includes a touchscreen dashboard that spreads<br />
like an elongated tablet from in front of the steering<br />
wheel to the centre position, with two 10.25-inch digital<br />
screens. From here you can control everything from<br />
colour themes, to your car’s climate. Further controls<br />
on the steering wheel are small square touch sensors<br />
that you can swipe over to change your display. Flick<br />
through options that show consumption, trip details, your<br />
navigation, a Nm/G-force dial, analogue clock and more.<br />
Too much? Simplify back to full-screen graphic detailing<br />
your trip itinerary, with an icon to show how far your fuel<br />
will take you. (If you’d rather keep your eyes on the road,<br />
ask Mercedes, she’ll tell you too.)

FASHION FACT:<br />
Mercedes-Benz has been tied to<br />
the fashion industry for 22 years.<br />
As the title sponsor for Mercedes-<br />
Benz Fashion Weeks around the<br />
world, it’s a natural pairing built on<br />
desire for style, innovative design<br />
and luxury, with all the trimmings.<br />
The Mercedes-Benz Presents<br />
designer for New Zealand Fashion<br />
Week <strong>2019</strong> was Paris Georgia<br />
– a collaboration between Paris<br />
Mitchell-Temple and Georgia<br />
Cherry that sees custom-fabric<br />
adorn and flatter the female form.<br />
Navigation input can be by voice or<br />
by writing your letters on a touchpad.<br />
Once again, there’s a knack to it and<br />
my first attempt saw my Ss become<br />
fives and my I announced as a small<br />
Turkish one.<br />
One of my favourite introductions<br />
sees the headlights gradually light up<br />
your path, from the ground up. The<br />
Multibeam LED headlights see 18<br />
LEDs adjust the light distribution to<br />
suit the setting.<br />
Something I hadn’t encountered<br />
with a cruise control offering was an<br />
automatic slowing for corners. The<br />
car, in conjunction with its navigation<br />
system, decides if the speed it’s set<br />
to is appropriate for the upcoming<br />
bend. A particular part of the Akaroa<br />
Highway tested this out perfectly, as<br />
a 100kmh straight ends with a bend<br />
to the right. Once out of the bend,<br />
the car speeds up to meet the preestablished<br />
limit – handy, though you<br />
still have to keep your wits about you.<br />
So focused was it to returning to said<br />
speed, it seemed unlikely to make the<br />
45kmh turn that followed soon after.<br />
Converted SUV drivers will have<br />
long forgotten what it feels like to<br />
be this close to the ground. Yes, it’s<br />
a sedan, people. But it adds to that<br />
sleek, fashionable look for another<br />

A NEW SEASON<br />
FOR EATING<br />
Noteworthy places to eat and drink this spring.<br />
Words Vanessa Ortynsky<br />
Sandfly Café<br />
En route to Milford Sound? Make sure to stop in Te Anau for one of<br />
the best breakfasts in the area. Sandfly Café (9 The Lane) is a cosy spot<br />
that serves up an excellent espresso alongside breakfasts, light meals<br />
and the best caramel slices; perfect to keep you going on your road<br />
trip. Either grab a seat outside on the lawn or head inside to enjoy the<br />
quirky interior (with free Wi-Fi, we might add). With a large selection of<br />
breakfast options from standard eggs and bacon to vegan and vegetarian<br />
dishes galore, everyone will leave satisfied.<br />

West End Stories<br />
The sleek West End Stories on Cambridge Terrace is our go-to for<br />
flawless breakfast and lunch options in the heart of the city. The elegant<br />
restaurant and café is favoured among nearby office workers, locals<br />
and tourists alike. With a seasonal menu that changes regularly, you’re<br />
always in store for a tasty feed. We fawn over their Mediterranean<br />
omelette, which is packed full of veges and cheese or the muesli served<br />
with berries. It’s also worth noting that the plant-filled interior here is a<br />
gorgeous space in which to recharge over an hour or two.<br />

Fiddler’s Green Vineyard & Bistro<br />
Open since June and steered by head chef,<br />
Viv van den Bosch, Fiddler’s Green Vineyard<br />
& Bistro (246 Georges Rd, Amberley) is<br />
quickly becoming a Waipara Valley favourite.<br />
On the menu, expect a combination of<br />
European-inspired dishes and tasty Kiwi<br />
favourites like their market fish, which is<br />
pan-fried with ginger and served on pickled<br />
winter vegetables with a sesame seaweed<br />
topping. The French pastries are definitely<br />
worth trying as well. Then, of course, be sure<br />
to sample their selection of wines.<br />

out the new menu addition, halloumi,<br />

or pita. Find Nando’s at Langdons<br />

delights with a focus on Italian and Asian fare. Fresh<br />
produce is the name of the game at every station, be<br />
it antipasto, soup, mouth-watering seafood, the carvery<br />
or grill. Save room for fresh cheese and an exceptional<br />
dessert bar that will satisfy every sweet tooth.<br />

EARLY BIRDS<br />
Known for their top-notch service, super<br />

when in Dunedin. With not one, but two<br />
breakfast menus as well as two menus<br />

ever leave hungry. All ingredients are<br />
sourced locally whenever possible and the<br />
spacious establishment has a bustling yet<br />
cosy atmosphere.<br />
SO HOT RIGHT NOW<br />
Go pho it! Christchurch has a handful of places for a steaming<br />
bowl of pho, but You Hanoi Me’s Pacific rendition of the<br />
Vietnamese soup definitely tops our list. Head to this Victoria<br />

including Hanoi noodle soup (as they call it), fresh spring rolls<br />
and banh mi.<br />

WINE NOTES<br />
Throw caution to the wind with these whimsical wines.<br />
Words Kate Preece<br />
Hello Sailor Swanky<br />
Pinot Noir Rosé 2017<br />
When the word “swanky” is<br />
incorporated into the label and the<br />
wine description, you can expect to<br />
be sipping something that doesn’t<br />
take itself too seriously. The newest<br />
addition to the Giesen Group, it<br />
has a warm apricot-pink glow and<br />
is beautifully crisp when served<br />
straight from the fridge. Super fruity<br />
– priming us for a sweet summer<br />
ahead – but far from sweet, it’s a<br />
good match for salmon or a good<br />
hunk of camembert. $19.99<br />
Giesen Riesling Blush<br />
If you don’t know what you’ve been<br />
poured, it’s a sweet rosé you’re<br />
thinking about as you sip this cheeky<br />
wine. Described as medium, and<br />
dry, it pours like silk from the bottle<br />
and fills a glass with an alluring<br />
apricot-pink. Thick on the mouth<br />
it doesn’t fail to deliver in flavour –<br />
blood orange and lime for starters.<br />
It’s amazing what a splash of syrah<br />
can do to a riesling. Very cheerful<br />
and cheap, at $12.99.<br />
Lost Garden<br />
Chardonnay 2018<br />
In a colour aptly described by one at<br />
our table as “see-through dandelion”,<br />
this golden number has a lot to say for<br />
itself. On the nose, tropical fruits came<br />
through, but it’s that first taste that<br />
will take you on the most wonderful<br />
journey. I discovered a surprising<br />
sense of sweetness, which progressed<br />
through to that dry tannin-induced<br />
finish. Though described as boasting<br />
oak and spice, it was more the peach<br />
that dominated this truly fruity number.<br />
Easy drinking, it might just turn a<br />
riesling drinker to chardonnay. $29.99
