Wellington Fashion Week 2012

I was lucky enough to be in the Media front row seating for the Wellington Fashion Week 2012 Show last night at the magnificent Museum Building.

Wellington Fashion Week 2012 or wfw12 is the inaugrual year for Wellington to host a Fashion Show of NZ Designers.

I make no excuse for the fact that we are colour enthusiasts.  So it is not hard to tell which of the NZ Designers took favour with us.

I loved the colour explotion and must-haves of Robyn Mathieson, the male models from neverblack, funky tights and lace up tops and dresses at philipa&alice, short shorts & Gosling music from +silence was...+, every single gorgeous dress from Kelsey Genna, the bold shapes from STORM and finally the colour combinations and wearable styles of Starfish.

Easter Wellington openings

Who are open this Easter and who isn't charging a holiday surcharge.

Due to liquor restrictions over the Easter period, venues serving alcohol will be open for dining purposes only.  This means every customer (on Good Friday and Easter Sunday) has to have a substantial meal in order to purchase alcohol.
