FOUREYES ON SHIATZY CHEN S/S 2015

Paris Fashion Week just happened to be on while we were there late last year and while we weren't in town specifically for the shows, we did jump on an invite to Shiatzy Chen's S/S 15 show. Shiatzy Chen is a Taiwanese label that has shown at PFW since 2008. They're often described as the Chanel of Taiwan and we could certainly see a little of that in the collection presented. Check out what we saw after the jump.

FOUREYES ON WHITECLIFFE FASHION SHOW 2014 - PART TWO

Here's part two of the Whitecliffe Fashion Show 2014, featuring the work from the graduating Year 4 students. There was some pretty great work here and definitely some names to keep an eye on. Check out all our shots after the jump. Above looks by Nicole Wesseling and Louella Huang.

FOUREYES ON WHITECLIFFE FASHION SHOW 2014 - PART ONE

FOUREYES ON RUBY & LIAM AW15

Last week we were very lucky to be invited to preview the Liam AW and Ruby Pre-Fall and AW 2015 collections over a terrific lunch at The Engine Room. Here's a little look at what will be hitting Ruby stores next year...

FOUREYES ON AUT ROOKIE 2014 (PART TWO)

Here is Part Two of our highlights of the AUT Rookie Show 2014 (click here for Part One if you missed it).

The above looks are by Courtney Perham and Caroline Stephen

FOUREYES ON AUT ROOKIE 2014 (PART ONE)

One of our favourite annual events, the AUT Rookie show, happened earlier this week. Showcasing the work of AUT's graduating fashion designers, it's always a nice intro to some names to keep an eye on over the next few years. This year's show kicked off with a collaboration between the Year Two students and Zambesi before moving on to the graduates' collections. It's a big show, so we're splitting it into two posts.

See the first half of what we saw after the jump. (Above looks by Engy Mahdy and Sue Park)

FOUREYES ON LUXOTTICA S/S 2015

We checked out the Luxottica Spring/Summer 2015 preview this week, showcasing the new frames that will be hitting Sunglass Hut and OPSM stores. Click through to see our favourite picks from the showing.

FOUREYES ON VIKTOR & ROLF SPRING 2015

If you've been following our Instagram at all you'll probably know that we were over in Paris last month right around the time of Paris Fashion Week. While we weren't really there for the shows this trip, we couldn't turn down an invitation to visit the Viktor & Rolf showroom and be taken through the Spring 2015 collection, straight off the runway. See what we saw after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - HAILWOOD

Hailwood showed last night at NZFW. His collection ranged from streetwear to evening dresses, and featured heraldry symbols, knitwear and velvet. Check out what we saw after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - COOP

Rad Lichtenstein-esque comic book prints and a sporty tone dominated at COOP's NZFW show this year. Check out some of what we saw after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - ZAMBESI

Zambesi showed their AW15 collection, XXXV, at NZFW on Wednesday. Marking their 35th year, the show was naturally polished and slick with models walking to a soundtrack of Queen's Flash Gordon. It's no secret we're pretty big fans of the label and we saw a lot to like in this collection. Highlights for us were the stunning outerwear, including a rich blue coat and slouchy coats with a pilled texture, the possum-fur knitwear and the structured dresses. See what we saw and liked after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - AIM

Huffer launched their new label, Aim, at a presentation in the Huffer basement yesterday. Beautiful photographs of Aussie model Bambi Northwood-Blyth, shot by Adam Bryce, adorned the room at a huge scale and were accompanied my musical awesomeness c/o Watercolours. Aim, designed by Aimee McFarlane, offers a collection of pretty sophisticated and nicely understated womenswear as a complement to the streetwear that Huffer have built their rep on. It's due to hit Huffer stores from November so look out for it. See some of what we saw after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - STOLEN GIRLFRIENDS CLUB

Stolen Girlfriends Club took things off-site last night showing their AW15 collection, The Guilty Ones, at Western Springs Stadium. Twin Peaks was the Lynch-pin (get it?) of the collection with references to the cult nineties series throughout. Great styling, soundtrack and venue made for an awesome show. And rad clothes made for one of our favourite SGC collections to date. See what we saw and liked after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - UNDERGROUND

After a rad presentation last year, Underground, was back again at New Zealand Fashion Week, this time occupying Silo 6 at Wynyard Quarter. Six designers were involved, Blue Blank, Meadowlark, Thprks, Jojo Ross, Jimmy D and Jason Lingard, taking over a silo each to create their installations. Seriously cool, Underground will also be open from 10am this Friday to Sunday. It's free and you should go. But not because it's free, that's just a bonus. See more of what we saw after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - LELA JACOBS

We were happy to see Lela Jacobs back at New Zealand Fashion Week this year as her show last year was one of our absolute favourites of the week. This collection, entitled Post Dystopian, was once again presented in an atmospheric, slowly paced and polished show. Richly textured fabrics, layering and fine craft work combined with a beautifully raw edge. Also, how ace is that hair and makeup? See what we saw after the jump.

NZFW 2014 - NOM*D

New Zealand Fashion Week kicked off Tuesday morning with NOM*d returning to the schedule to present their AW15 collection, Noise. We knew we were in for something rad when ear-plugs were handed out on entry and as expected, they set the bar pretty high for the day to follow. This was really good. The show was all-standing, with attendees lined up on one side of the catwalk, opposite six drummers, whose rhythmic percussion provided the soundtrack to the show. See some of what we saw and liked after the jump.

FOUREYES ON MOOCHI: 'A TASTE OF SPRING'

We had the pleasure of attending a beautiful 3-course lunch at Ostro with moochi, where we got to see a preview of their latest collections, just in time for Spring. We hope our photos put you in the mood for the warmer weather that should be just around the corner.

FOUREYES ON SYLVESTER AT THE MARR FACTORY

The Marr Factory shows generally focus on in-season clothes that guests at the shows can go out and buy the very next day. So, it was a bit of a treat for Kate Sylvester to show a preview of her AW15 Sylvester range, due to hit stores next year, at The Golden Dawn last night. We loved it. Heavy lumberjack references created a really nice masculine/feminine mix and as always with Kate Sylvester, everything just looked so darn well made and beautiful. Plus there were chainsaws. Rad. See what we saw after the jump.

FOUREYES ON ZAMBESI AT THE MARR FACTORY

More from The Marr Factory. One of our favourite NZ labels, Zambesi, showed their sportswear-influenced SS 14/15 collection Tuesday night at The Golden Dawn. Carrying on a tradition established at last year's event, friends of Zambesi and this time team members served as models. See some of what we saw after the jump.

FOUREYES ON NOM*D AT THE MARR FACTORY

The Marr Factory series of shows is in full swing and last night we checked out Nom*D. Braided hair, mask-like make up, bold zips and orange colour featured on the catwalk. We're also loving the Star Wars references we're seeing in fashion at the moment, from Rodarte and now Nom*D.
