   On a similar topic, Hold My Own is the new collection from Pleasure State My Fit. The Hold My Own bra has been specifically designed to provide a natural push-up-without-padding look, a suede-touch lining that applies “grab and hold” and a sueded glisten fabric that gives a soft and smooth wearing experience. The Hold My Own range offers colours including back, mocha and Georgia peach. The collection also offers a selection of briefs including a thong and a new midi brief style.
   At New Zealand Fashion Week, global hair-styling brand GHD will present the new Blue Sky concept show by two local labels.

   OPI launches Vintage Minnie Mouse, which includes four limited-edition nail lacquers. They were created in honour of Disney’s beloved character.

The latest collection shows vibrant, feminine shades for summer nails and includes a pink crème lacquer, a frosted red shade, a shimmery fuchsia and a heart glitter confetti.
   Ray-Ban introduces its Ambermatic lens, in honour of its 75th anniversary.
