Safer Than Heaven: Heart Stolen @ Stolen Girlfriends Club NZFW 17

A crowd of over 1000 of the coolest people I have been surrounded in ever gathered at an exlcusive, offsite warehouse location for the highly anticipated Stolen Girlfriends Club NZFW17 show 'Safer Than Heaven'. Bustling bodies & excited murmurs filled the room as the crowd snagged seats lined around a giant, black plastic wrapped cube, and the lights dimmed to play out the edgiest, coolest & most empowering show at this year's event. 

Nostalgic 90's punk vibes met futuristic feels, with metallic boots, graphic band-esque tees, sheer everything and the brands signature statement leather pieces stomping the runway, backed by an energetic musical track of punk and indie inspired sounds. 

To enter the runway, models were slashed out from the inside of the plastic cube using a stanley knife, which added visual excitement and atmosphere to the runway. This edgy entry was backed by models 'too cool, don't care' attitude, and tough-as-hell styling by famous LA based duo Sebastian Hunt & Dylan Richards (behind Yeezy).

Flashes of more adult dressing was also littered throughout the collection, with a series of power and pinstripe suits on show. Excellent news for the working bosslady who needs that extra bit of sass in their day!  

Denim, flared cuts and thigh highs paired back individual statement & wearable pieces to create a really strong and cohesive collection, with strong 90s reference points being seamlessly updated and tweaked to have a totally current feel. Stolen Girlfriends Club continues to reign supreme in the urban fashion industry in NZ (and globally) , and if I am being honest, I cannot see that changing anytime soon with collections like this.

Congratulations to Marc & all of SGC! Looking forward to next year xxx
