hanging out with friends, being outdoors and loving the sunshine. The girls are
in comfortable fitted shorts and flattering tops, the boys are in 3/4 pants and
bright printed tees. The range is urban and funky with an emphasis on design and
fit. Check out their
Summer range here

You may not be ready for Winter 2007 but
Nude footwear is, with their Collection available in store nationally from
January 2007. Realised at the bottom of her grandmother’s cupboard as a child,
designer Selina Tulk’s obsession with shoes sent her scouring New York, LA,
Paris and London for the treatments and techniques forgotten by 21st century
shoe makers. Drawing inspiration from abandoned shoes that echo the womanly
glamour of Hollywood in the 20’s and 30’s through to the New York 70’s, she
decided to create a range that bought together the best of the old and the new.
Nude footwear offers original, feminine and vintage styles for the girl who
wants more than just high fashion footwear, at an affordable price.

Fashion, lively conversation and people-watching – in the
corporate boxes, the stands and of course the Heineken Hotel - were part and
parcel of 'being there' at the Heineken Open this month. Ricardo Simich, Air New
Zealand Fashion Week front row manager, wore a Jockey singlet shirt, Costume
National Jeans, Jeanmakers Boots and Hudson Army Warehouse sunglasses. Game set
and match to him for being not just one of fashion’s nice guys, but a stylie one
too.

this range is a standout. Our tester used it on coloured hair that had been
exposed to sun and salt water, and the hair immediately looked and felt better –
so much so that her man commented. Both contain a UVB filter so they protect
the hair from future exposure too. Get out there and buy’em now! Redken UV
Rescue After-Sun Shampoo RRP $26.50
(300 ml), and UV Rescue After-Sun Conditioner RRP $28.50 (250 ml) from Redken
