Meant to be
Another day, another sweet collaboration, this
time between iconic Kiwi lingerie label Bendon
and our own queen of lipstick, Karen Murrell.
Joining forces to celebrate self-love, with every
set of Bendon’s new ‘Meant To Be’ intimates
purchased this Valentine’s Day, you’ll get a
complimentary Karen Murrell True Love lippie.
“The power of the red lip is well known,” says
Karen. “Red gives us confidence, infuses life
with passion, and combining stunning lingerie
with a bold, powerful red lip really is a recipe
for self-empowerment. We all feel great when
we know we’re wearing stunning lingerie and a
stunning lip colour.”
New York, New York
An homage to New York City, Saben’s
AW23 collection ‘The Five Boroughs’,
releasing this month, nods to the Big Apple
both in colour and design. Think Central Park
greens, the brownstone facades of uptown
and the vibrant yellow of the downtown
taxis, and signature style Claudette’s
additional feature – a braided handle – which
can be swapped out for the crossbody strap
when you need to go hands free to juggle
a cup of Joe, a pretzel or an armful of bags
from a shopping spree along Fifth Avenue.
New and noteworthy this season is Harlow
(pictured), a sleek shoulder bag silhouette
adorned with gold chain detailing.

No party like a silver party
Christchurch’s much-loved public art event SCAPE might be over
for another year but the celebrations continue with a very special
Silver Urban Art Party in honour of its 25th anniversary, to be held
March 10 at the Canterbury Museum in conjunction with the new
SHIFT: Urban Art Takeover exhibition (see page 18 for more info).
The VIP opening fundraiser featuring an auction, cocktail party and
live entertainment will be followed by the general admission party
with DJs, performing artists, food trucks and dancing. Dress in silver
if you dare.
