NZFW: Day Three - Katherine Lowes snaps from Jimmy D

In case you haven't been bothered reading my previous one thousand posts about NZFW over the past three days (I wont hold it against you!), I'll explain to you a-fresh my approach to NZFW 2011.

1. I want to be there

2. I'm not there

3. Therefore I am spending many, many hours online stalking my favourite bloggers and their fashion week movements. Yes, I am having a second hand fashion week experience. Not ideal but good enough for now... aka until I become an industry professional who is capable of actually attending NZFW.

Anyway, back to Jimmy D! Jimmy D showed this afternoon and overall the reviews seem pretty good. Obviously the black appeals to me as I am a black lover, and I very very much love the gothic feel this collection has. It's a bit scary - but in a good way. Like cool goth, not weird goth... yeah. ha ha.

These snaps were taken by Katherine Lowe of Katherine is Awesome. Very, very cool.

NZFW: Day Three - Celine Rita

Celine Rita, you beauty! Seriously, could this collection get any cooler? The best thing about this collection is the fabrics! I love the way that fabrics with different texturesand patterns have been juxtaposed to create something very interesting and unique. My personal favourite is the mid length crumpled velvet skirt teamed with the shift style tank. It's a winner! Pretty fantastic all round. Thumbs up to Celine Rita!

NZFW: Twenty-Seven Names - Take Cover

This year, Twenty- Seven Names decided to not show at NZFW. Instead they decided to have and exhibition featuring their Winter 2012 collection. Cool huh?

NZFW: Day Three - Out and about

The runway isn't the only place where fashion happens. It's true, only fashionable people attend Fashion Week. Love, love, love what these ladies are wearing.

NZFW: Day Three - Ruby

Augh, Ruby! Why must you be so cool? As soon as I laid eyes on this collection I literally saw all of the money I will save over summer go right out the door. Well not literally... but you know! The collection that walked down the runway at Ruby this morning can only be described as AMAZING. I realise that I refer to things as amazing fairly often, however I swear this is different! There is absolutely nothing I so not love about this collection. From the metallic's, to the geometric shapes, to to knitwear, it's all just flawless. Not to mention the shoes and the orange gloves! Woweee. This is by far my favourite NZFW show so far. According to reviewers Ruby's Capital City show was by far the most 'together' show thus far. It's because of collections like this that Ruby is one of my favourite brands. Ka Pai!

NZFW: Day Three - Liam

Woah nelly! Madame Hawke has a new name! Liam is what the label debuted as in this mornings show. Although the name may be different, the collection was very distinctly Madame Hawke (or should I say Liam? This is confusing!). Elegant, mature yet slightly quirky is how I would describe this collection. I love the fact that anything in this collection could transcend from work wear, to evening wear, to weekend wear. Liam get points from me for versatility! As Always Sometimes Anytime put it... "as the models did their final, collective walk through, Liam firmly established itself as the workwear of choice for the creative-minded professional."
