Cityscape Summer 2020
Welcome to 2020. For our first issue of a new decade, Cityscape has taken up the 5 Ways to Wellbeing as a kaupapa, or set of principles, underpinning our editorial direction for 2020 and beyond. If you haven’t heard of them before, the 5 Ways – Connect, Be active, Take notice, Keep Learning, and Give – have been taken up by mental health agencies and organisations around the world. There is extensive scientific evidence that if practised regularly, the 5 Ways will lift your wellbeing. The challenge is to find ways to introduce these actions into our daily lives. Between the covers of Cityscape we have curated a selection of experts local and international that can help. Supporting local businesses by getting offline and in-store is one way to connect with your community as well as be more active and giving – as consumers, we often make big decisions about where to spend our money on the basis of saving a dollar or two. Remember, when you buy from a small business, an actual person does a happy dance! We have all our regular features and contributors as well, and all that’s hot in beauty, cuisine, home and events.

Madeworn rock tees in, which I love
pairing with my Paige exposed
button jeans, which are very on
trend this season. You regularly
travel to Australia and the US on
buying trips – how do you decide
what to bring back? I love to get
into the new-season clothes myself
and really envision how the pieces
in my store work together and tell a
story. I have been in the buying
industry for five years now so I
have a great understanding of
which pieces my clientele would
love and that would look good on
both the ‘mother and daughter’.
How did you get started in
fashion? I knew at high school that
fashion was the career for me. I
started in retail, managing a store
in Queenstown before heading to
Melbourne and then Sydney, where
I spent six years at high-end Bondi
boutique Tuchuzy. Do you have an
outfit in mind for the summer
season? The new Cecilie
Copenhagen range is perfect for
this summer and we have a
beautiful range of colours and
styles to choose from. I love that I
can dress it up with a heel for a
night out or dress it down with
some flat shoes. What’s your one
essential fashion piece? My go-to
is the Smythe Duchess blazer – the
detail in the back is so feminine and
fun. What’s your favourite thing to
do on a Sunday? I love walking
over the Bridle Path and grabbing a
coffee in Lyttelton. What’s special
about your stores? We pride
ourselves on looking after our
customers, offering upcoming
trend advice, building your
seasonal wardrobe and showing
you options that are perfect for
your style. Our clients are
encouraged to take their time and
enjoy a tea or a coffee and indulge
in our high-end fashion luxury
labels. If you’re from out of town,
feel free to call us and we’ll pick
you up from the airport.
