ADRIAN HAILWOOD
Designer Adrian Hailwood is a rising star in his Native New Zealand and his fresh takes on jeanswear and sportswear are beginning to receive international notice as well... Contact: Adrian Hailwood - Auckland, NZ www.hailwood.co.nz ANDREA MOORE We all lead very busy stressful lives so I want our customers to focus on what fun they have in their lives instead. For example, the next range is called 'the girls guide to cocktails' which is more about fun. The autumn range which is the one we are showing at New Zealand Fashion Week is called something like `guns and roses rock chick...' While I love laughter, the ranges sometimes have names from issues I tend to grapple with in life... 'love lies bleeding,' `inside the square'... that kind of thing.

"My clothes reflect my fascination with the idea of how the ancient world has been fundamental in developing the aspirational qualities seen in women of today - strength, femininity, colour and a feeling of 'daring to be different'. "Each of my collections reflect my own personal journey." Contact: Angela Lewis - Auckland, NZ www.angelalewis.co.nz ANGELA TODD - SABINE
