Contact: Adrian Hailwood - Auckland, 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.
