Kiwi Couture

Kiwi fashion editor of the Daily Telegraph, Hilary Alexander, pushes the New Zealand Edge into euro fashion: “[NZ] may be half a world away from Europe and America, but its half a year ahead with its fashion.” While the rest of the world has just finished showing their summer collections, designers at the first L’Oreal New Zealand Fashion Week in Auckland are showing off what could be the big trends of Winter 2002. All the collections are shown to rave reviews, especially Kate Sylvester’s preppy school-inspired collection.
