Zambesi maintains its edge

Other great styling was seen in the dress and trouser combo made of the same fabric with a colourful jungle-inspired print, and the contrast between androgynous and feminine elements seen throughout.

Menswear featured sharp, tailored military pea and double-breasted coats and skinny leg trousers in suiting. The main features were of course the striking animalistic prints, brocade and stripe all featuring in and alongside the classic Zambesi navy, grey and white.

This was one our favourite collections seen at New Zealand Fashion Week. It has hit all the major fashion trends currently seen at the moment and we’re sure will be a sell-out when it hits stores in autumn.

We’ll be looking at Zambesi’s beautifully tailored pants and a shaggy fur coat to take us right through the winter. •
