ZFA


Voon

Ellen Mann

Previous page continued

A modern mix of pattern intertwined with individuality, Voon was the critic’s choice for second-best collection of the night

 

   ZFA showed denim and, with a relaxed and feminine twist (isn't it always though?), short tops and long pants. Simplicity is the key here with accents on pintucks and contrasting stitching. An original collection with asymmetric hemlines and unusual panels. A good collection from a respected designer who has had a lifelong fascination with fashion.
   Sophie Voon, expectant mum who has since rejected the idea of starting a maternal line, showed florals with a definite edge for her Voon label for spring–summer. A modern mix of pattern intertwined with individuality, this was the critic’s choice for second-best collection of the night. Classic looks with details such as ribbing mixed with floral prints destined for Voon's two boutiques in the Chancery in Auckland and the Willis Street Village in Wellington.
   Nicola Screen’s collection might be summarized Diesel meets peasant chick! It fits with the usual Screen ethos of 'unkempt rawness' (her words) and 'muted shades' (ditto). And what a pleasant surprise! Fluid cloth matched with sexy individual skirts makes this a sojourn of original materials mixed with yesteryear Sophia Loren! Colour choices were camel, white and black.
