Karen R. & R.

The after show afternoon party back home.
The tequila sunrise living room took on a new
meaning with Karen's purple poly, pucci-esque
combo. It was a $ 5 find at the Kaitaia op-shop.
Mint condition - Ozzie design.

foya collective - Massey Graduate Show

I was really privileged to see the results of
four hard years punctuated by that killer
final semester stomping down the catwalk.
A bumper crop for design talent this year at Massey.
Shown here in order from top :
Gabrielle Futter - 36.24.38 &
Harriet Sharpe - Fiband and Nemhain

new in from Niue

My mother just got back from a week in Niue.
Outside the old school buildings in Hakupa village,
on the south side of the island. The wee hut is where
lunch is being prepared - no longer dug into the ground-
the food is cooked in a tin with coral rock and bricks.
Large leaves are then placed over the food.

As Time Goes By

Photos of last weekends' amazing fashion & art graduate
shows will be posted as soon as the download cable is located.
In the meantime we now have government agencies, family
& friends tracking the latest Time Style & Design issue.
Its somewhere out there. We suspect the cover is as above.
The Fed Ex parcel sent from Time HQ NYC has not yet made
it to Rawene.
The last time something arrived from Fed Ex, someone had
scribbled directions for the driver on the outside of the parcel:
" Drive to Whangarei and keep going north ".
It may be that this particular Fed Ex truck did keep on going
and has either turned left into the Tasman Sea or right into
the Pacific Ocean.
Or maybe the truck got stuck in the mangroves and mud and
the driver just gave up.
WE HAVEN'T !!!

True.

flying around

Nothing better than to be boarding queues and all -
( especially after the inevitable unexpected departure delay)

I just love the way this guy wears his backpack kete on top of a nylon canvas sports jacket.

And this other guy with his laptop / camo / trousers tucked in & the genius touch - mud!

Truly effortless style - totally unselfconcious.
