A Lucire miscellany for October ’09
For one reason or another, these folks didn’t get covered in Lucire earlier, despite being very worthy. Sometimes it’s what’s in our editorial calendar, sometimes it’s due to a heavy news day with other things being covered. We spotted Teza at one of our regular haunts—regular, at least, till they stopped accepting American Express. […]
Angela Lewis offers bespoke suiting at Newmarket boutique
Angela Lewis, profiled in issue 27 of Lucire, has been very busy. She has continued her Style Workshops (above and left) as well as presented her autumn–winter 2010 looks at a New Zealand Fashion Week-related event for Westpac, where she showcased her new suiting shapes and key themes. On the new designs, ‘My 20 years […]
Chic runs from Petone to Paris
Douglas Rimington On the main part of the Lucire site today is a special travel promotion on Petone, a place which really surprised us. The historical area on Jackson Street is full of surprises, and for Wellingtonians who hold on to decades’ old views about what Petone is like, cast aside your notions. Jackson Street, […]
Kathryn Wilson shows limited-edition stiletto for Maybelline
Maybelline New York has announced that Kathryn Wilson has designed a limited-edition (40 pairs) stiletto to complement the launch of its Lash Stiletto lengthening mascara in New Zealand. Wilson, who received her first item of coverage in Lucire during her final year at university, is arguably New Zealand’s leading shoe designer—an ambition she told […]
Osaka Café and Le Plonk: Christchurch eating and drinking with a difference. Even though I liked my room at Christchurch, New Zealand’s Hotel Grand Chancellor last week, where I spoke at the first Tourism Tech conference, I opted (as I usually do) to eat out. One place that I was put on to two […]

Richie Rich, Pamela Anderson in Tourism snapshot
Hill & Knowlton, Inc. It amazes us, too, what emerges on the US wire services we have access to. Here are our friend Richie Rich of A Muse and his collaborator, Pamela Anderson, with a Māori cultural group during their visit to New Zealand for Air New Zealand Fashion Week last month, in a photograph […]
I finally saw The September Issue last Monday, a bit after our Christchurch writer, Jolene Williams, who filed the official Lucire review. I agree with her words but need to add one thing: for 90 minutes, I was constantly reminded of work and probably was the only person walking out of the cinema more wound […]
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) […]
The Pamela Anderson press conference at New Zealand Fashion Week
A mad, busy day—Miromoda, Starfish, Emma Ford, Trix and Dandy, Chapel, Hailwood … but the highlight of the day and week was Stolen Girlfriends’ Club. Held in a masonic lodge in Newton, the show was so popular that we were jammed in like cattle. There was no room for divas in this show. The […]
