Catwalk curves

Designer Caroline Marr’s label The Carpenter’s Daughter returns to New Zealand Fashion week this year showcasing her Winter 21 collection for women with curves. Specialising in “Clothing for Curvy Girls”, producing 1 per cent New Zealand-made clothes in sizes 12-24, The Carpenter’s Daughter has grown from humble beginnings to become a destination fashion label with six stores nationwide. Marr’s philosophy is to: “celebrate the curves of women’s bodies, accentuate the positive, and empower curvy women to hold their heads proudly, and feel worthy of fashion.” New Zealand Fashion Week runs from September 2 through September 24.
