In recent years streetwear has a been a strong categorical contender and rightly so. NZ Fashion has always stood to gain from providing us with functional and directional clothing, as we are a nation clearly founded on the notion. Yet this year many collections seemed oddly repetitious, presenting some pretty dried up concepts and much of the same muchness. Yes, we may be a nation of farmers sons & daughters but the plaid-fad please....give it a rest already.
I wanted to share with you my top picks of from the NZFW AW2011 collections (& a few from years gone by). These are the ensembles that really caught my eye. Lavish, directional, strong, intelligent design and lastly wearable. These are more than a handful of looks I would rock come 2011 and a few key pieces I'd still be happily holding onto in years to come.
