Philharmonia in Fashion

The Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra has launched a new initiative to dress visiting international soloists in NZ designs. For the APO’s recent ‘Russian Spectacular,’ pianist Marina Kolomiytseva wore a Liz Mitchell gown and presenter Elena Stejko was dressed by Zambesi. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone,” said an APO spokesperson in the NZ Herald. “The artists look and feel stunning for their performance and it’s a subtle but effective way of putting NZ fashion on both the local and international stage.”
