NZFW fashion media alert!

Flatforms, flats or sturdy wedges are recommended footwear for fashion media attending New Zealand Fashion Week next month.

Word has it the Media Centre has moved - out of the building.

The nautical theme of this Kathryn Wilson ‘Emily’ sandal is a clue.

Turns out the room that housed the Media Centre last year is now an office - boo hoo.

So, this year’s Media Centre will be located on a boat anchored beside the Auckland Event’s Centre.

I also recommend carrying a handbag sized umbrella. There will be wireless coverage on the boat but as to weather coverage from the venue to the boat, that remains to be seen.

I was blown away by Jimmy D’s installation of his Rising Sun, Melting Moon collection.  Colours of Tokyo neon and glimpses of photographer Araki Nobuyoshi and blogger Eriko Nakau…

Sneak peek at Jimmy D S/S 2013 = ‘The End’ Dress.  Read all about delightful James and his inspirations for the new collection on FashioNZ:  http://www.fashionz.co.nz/news/d-is-for-dobson.html.

Love this pic (taken on trusty Sony NEX) of Phil from blog Street Peeper, and Tommy Ton.  We met at MBFWA last year and Phil remembered that they were basically wearing the same sweater.
