The Five Best Looks from NZ Fashion Festival
Over 40 designers across five nights, NZ Fashion Festival 2012 perfectly exemplified some of New Zealand's top talent.
Over 40 designers across five nights, NZ Fashion Festival 2012 perfectly exemplified some of New Zealand's top talent, offering new season inspiration with a wide selection of looks available in stores now. Each designer bought the best of their individual style to the show, interpreting trends in their own unique way and offering a diverse range of fashion for the new season. Although not so great was seeing the use of the same fabric across different designers collections, an inevitable situation for a small country to be fair but undeniably off putting.
However the majority delivered a unique collection in both design and fabric, certainly proving we are spoilt for choice this season. Overall NZ Fashion Festival delivered a stunning week of amazing fashion but in our opinion, here are the designers we will be heading to first for our winter wardrobe re-vamp.

Night 1: Moochi
Moochi delivered their ever popular mix of soft fabric dresses and perfectly tailored suit jackets and pants. A favourite was this stunning metallic-look suit that would be perfect for a sophisticated night out as it would a day in the office.

Night 2: World
Every wardrobe needs its wow pieces and there's no better place to get them from than World. A quirky but chic menswear styling, we particularly enjoyed the offering of jackets and pants for the guys.

Night 3: Andrea Moore
For classic and timeless fashion look no further than Andrea Moore. A go to designer for coats and knitwear that will last season after season, her collections always embody an interesting style with an extensive colour palette and mix of polished patterns.

Night 4: Helen Cherry
Helen Cherry's distinct rose pattern will no doubt be a sell out this season. With a mix of blue hues, the print is a perfect splash of colour without losing its winter appeal. Silhouettes were chic and polished, offering effortless fashion at its best.

Night 5: Hailwood
Renowned for his impeccable tailoring and perfect mix of structure and drapery, Hailwood's designs exemplified a stunning balance of femininity and attitude featuring interesting yet wearable fabrics.
