1 February 2004 – The latest issue of Italian trend prediction magazine and style bible, Sport & Street Collezioni, includes a significant spread on NZ fashion, with Nom*D as the headlining feature. S&S on Nom*D: “Since 1986 Nom*D has been producing intelligent, credible, distinctive, utilitarian and wearable clothes.” On 2003 Loréal NZ Fashion Week: “The isolation and determination of a people on the edge of the world has … created a few gems along the wayside […] the drive, openness and energy permeating fashion week – from the organisers to the wide-eyed audience here – mirrors the warm, optimistic national character and exuberance of Auckland youth.”
