Faux fur’s the trend at Lonely Hearts’ Club
Lonely Hearts’ Club has done it better, bolder, sexier and cleverer than before. Proving that it is a key player in the New Zealand fashion industry, it came out with beautiful layering, sheers and knits for autumn–winter 2010. I’m proud to see its look-book features our favourite model, Nicole Clulee of Red Eleven! A (faux) […]
Spotted at New Zealand Fashion Week
Thanks to the the girls’ super-crush on cute boy in hat, we managed to get these four stunners together for a photo op. Have you ever seen such a beautiful gang? I don’t think it’s coincidence that they are all part-Māori. Fourteen-year-old Laken (far right) is set to make waves overseas very soon—let’s just let […]

New Zealand Fashion Week’s grand opening
The opening celebration was held at the New Zealand Fashion Week sheds at the Viaduct in Auckland. Moët and Ned wines were the sponsors of drink, though only Moët seemed to be drunk—it flowed like a river, poured over-excitedly by untrained waiters. Needless to say there were a few Moët-drenched Jimmy Choos about. Speaking […]
Kate Walsh shines in J. Mendel
It’s probably no surprise that our first image from Sunday’s Emmy Awards is a publicity shot, namely of Kate Walsh (Private Practice), whose hair was styled by Suave Professionals. The hair care brand wanted to show that one could get celeb-rich locks on a budget, though having a J. Mendel dress, Louis Vuitton shoes, and […]
Saben prepares a second summer series
Saben, first profiled in Lucire in 2001, will launch a second series of limited-edition bags for the summer, hitting stores in November 2009. The themes are glo mesh and leopard print, and for some reason, despite our feeling that black can be a bit dull this season, they work with this shade. We love the […]
Behind the scenes on our swimwear shoot
The Lucire team got together to shoot our swimwear editorial for summer at the luxurious Sanctum apartments in Wellington. With a close-knit team of young creatives the shoot ran like a dream, with enough time to spare for a bit of silliness and a few chuckles. The weather was good to us, giving us warm […]
I don’t think we could let September 11, 2009 pass without marking what had happened in the United States eight years ago. As with this year, the day fell during New York Fashion Week, and as the publisher I had a few things to contend with. I had returned to Wellington from Manhattan only […]
