Designer of the Moment

NZ fashion newcomer Cybèle Wiren (of label Cybèle) has caught the attention of international media with her Winter 2007 “Blue Blood” collection, first shown at last year’s Air New Zealand Fashion Week. Runway Reporter.com called it “original, clever, pretty, sexy and very much of the moment” and Nylon magazine praised it as “the sort of stuff Debbie Harry would be proud to rock.” Back home, Cybèle is this year’s guest designer at Dunedin’s Vodafone ID Fashion Show and joins Kate Sylvester, Karen Walker, Zambesi, Trelise Cooper and Ruby in providing a t-shirt print for Glassons’ annual Breast Cancer Research Trust fundraising project.
