Hailwood NZFW 17

Hailwood NZFW 17

Hailwood are always a crowd favourite at NZFW & Dunedin i.D FW events, and the anticipation for this years show was not to be unexpected for the brand. Excited murmurs travelled throughout the crowd as the lights dimmed to begin the show.

A more mature and curated collection was on display this year, topping extra edge onto previous collections,  and giving me up-market housewife meets lady-ready-to-pounce vibes.

I mean- that faux fur is life! Greys, golds, blacks and muted metallics were the chosen pallette for the designs, with a focus on texture & fabric play with use of layers, fur & sequins.

Big, bouncy curls & vintage styling vibes twinged towards a 70's feel for Hailwood, with silhouettes of flared pants and flowing skirts complimenting large hooped silver earrings. I also adored the mustard & green eye make up, which pumped up the styling volume on the fresh-faced models.

Hailwood is renowned for impeccable evening wear, and this portion of the presentation was certainly show-stealing. The final look - pictured below - was my choice for outstanding garment; I mean, can we tall about those beautiful pleated sleeves?! Such a stunning take on an elegant & simple design, Hailwood is the master of redefining the traditional into the whimsical.

Congratulations to Hailwood on a strong presentation once again at NZFW17 - can't wait for next year xx
