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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

One of our favourite photographers, Douglas Rimington, is notoriously hard to photograph, since he avoids being in front of the camera as much as possible. Even at a dinner held in his honour as he departs for the UK by way of Japan next week. Here are some of the Lucire team chilling out with […]
