TRELISE COOPER (New Zealand) Printed Maxi Dress

(RRP A$599 / US$625)

TRELISE COOPER

Launched in the early 1980s, Trelise Cooper is a big name in fashion in New Zealand. (Some even say, the Queen of NZ Fashion.) Although she has never had any formal training, Cooper’s eye for pattern and fabric has for the past 20 years firmly bonded a broad fan base across the globe. Dynamic and expressive, Cooper’s designs have been described as a challenge to the ‘dark and intellectual’ label often used by fashion commentators to describe New Zealand fashion.

New Brand Alert: NUE 19.04 (Paris)

‘What we wear becomes our cocoon, how it feels is important.’

A stand-out, super hard-to-find young Parisian label (launched in early 2011), NUE 19.04 is slowly, but most assuredly, gaining a cult-following.

Known for its use of gorgeous second-skin fabrics in crafting dynamic ‘rock chick’ pieces, NUE 19.04 plays a style that is a subtle mix of femininity and harshness.

Sensual and delicate, but also somewhat ‘rock’ and impertinent, this meticulously crafted NUE 19.04 dress is the perfect melding of silk and leather.

Keep the cool neckline in focus with upswept hair and just a few well-edited accessories at your next high-profile party.

[RRP €360]

3.1 PHILLIP LIM (New York) Coloutblock Pumps

The style set can’t get enough of 3.1 Phillip Lim’s sophisticated footwear. In contrasting shades of rich fuchsia and prune, this modern style features open sides and a pointed toe for a decidedly feminine feel.

At mid-heel height (3.5" / 9cm), this shoe is the perfect silhouette to be worn during the day at the office and then to after-work cocktails.

Play by the new fashion rules and pair yours with an equally bright outfit, or style it with a little black dress and bare legs.

(RRP US$450)
