After the short drive out to a warehouse in Grey Lynn, we were greeted by fellow fashionistas sipping on champagne! This being my first show for New Zealand Fashion Week, I was already head over heels. Having eaten nothing yet (it was a 10.00am show) I went straight for the bar to get me a glass of bubbly. Before I even managed to get myself a drink I was pulled over a couple of times to pose for some pictures. I was flattered to say the least!

After taking our seats, a live band started to play with Chelsea Jade doing the vocals, which marked the start of the show. Making its debut at New Zealand Fashion Week was Liam.

A smart, simple and professional collection with beautiful use of colors, fabrics and tailored suits with a feminine touch.

The velvety blue floor length dress with bows on the shoulders was a standout piece in the collection. I love the mix of bold color choices (blue, orange, tan).

Following the Liam collection was Ruby, an impressive collection that was very well put together. Beautiful bright and metallic colors, set against tribal prints. Wonderful use of color blocking similar to the show opener Liam.

This really was a fun and flirty collection. Definitely a favorite so far at New Zealand Fashion Week.
Below are some of the pictures we took at both of the shows. Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more of Ruby/Liam
