As far as we’re concerned the Land of Long White Cloud is like the smiley neighbour who you can borrow a cup of sugar from without having to do anything suss in return. So we like to see what’s going on in those parts. New Zealand Fashion Week kicked off today in Auckland and runs through to Friday 2 September showcasing the latest collections by the best fashion talent in NZ, including Stolen Girlfriends Club, Lonely Hearts, and WORLD. As usual there’s a lot of fashionable people off the runway too. Here’s a look at some of the stylish souls seen roaming on NZFW Day 1…
