“ A man reading at a bus stop; a couple out shopping; two teenagers skulking around a strip of bars... whatever the situation, the fashion is eye-catching and the comments are sharp and thoughtful. “ - Grazia online - 2012.

New Zealand...Back In Fashion

Love this! NZ knit wear from the 1940's...


" Portrait of an unidentified woman, modelling for New Zealand Knitted Wear, wearing a dark coloured suit with light coloured lapels and trim on the jacket pockets, two large buttons at the waist, a light coloured blouse with pin tucking and dark coloured buttons on the bodice, a dark coloured bow at the neck, a dark coloured skirt, a small dark coloured hat, holding a pair of gloves and a handbag.
