Special occasion pouches, everyday carry-alls and timeless staples from $59 to $1199
Quiet luxury had its time in 2023 and most of us were very much here for it, with its understated elegance, clean lines and polished aesthetic. However, judging by the accessories worn down the runway across the recent fashion month schedule, it looks like things are getting a bit more chaotic again, which is much more fun, wouldn’t you agree?
Whether you’re in need of an update on an everyday bag or looking for a special piece, there is something to suit every taste, style and budget in terms of trends right ..read more

In light of a lot of negative news lately in fashion, punctuated by the closure of Auckland-based womenswear labels Mina and Hej-Hej, I spoke to five local New Zealand fashion design and retail business owners about the current obstacles they’re facing, and what positive changes are being made to address the shifts in spending and consumer sentiment.
The closures of Mina and Hej-Hej are just the tip ..read more

A guide to the all-electric Volkswagen ID.4, as told by FNZ Publisher Murray Bevan and his 5-year-old son
Disclaimer: I love cars. I’ve owned three Volkswagens, three Audis, a Peugeot and a Mercedes. I love driving, I love speed, and I love the sound of a well-tuned petrol engine as it goes through the gears.
But like many of us, the thrill of the growl that I get from a naturally aspirated Audi RS5 is going to have to give way pretty soon to my conscience, which is nagging me to buy an electric car.
In a totally selfish way, I want to make the leap into an EV in the most Me way possible ..read more

POV: You’re on day 5 of unwashed hair, shampoo supply is running concerningly low and you have to be at work in 15 mins. What do you do? A slick back of course!
Ever since Sophia Richie Grainge gave us a step-by-step TikTok guide on creating the ultimate slick back bun we’ve been obsessed with doing the same at the end of each hair-wash cycle. Doing this hairstyle takes hard work and patience, and as easy as many make it look, creating the perfectly slick slick-back is not for the weak, so we’ve compiled a few products that will lessen the chances of a having nervous breakdown during the proce ..read more

From paparazzi pics to art-directed Instagram posts, celebs and influencers never shy from showing off their outfits to us regular folk. It can be hard to imagine pulling off a similar look without an A-list budget, that’s why ..read more

If this isn’t a sign to ditch that Facetune subscription I don’t know what is.
They say friendships are formed over shared hatreds, and the same can be said for shared jokes. Unfortunately the fashion world can be full of both sometimes, even though we like to think we err towards the lighter side.
So when Kate Middleton published a weirdly-altered pic of her and the kids this week, we couldn’t help but cast our minds back to the times when fashion has fallen foul of the Photoshop wand and produced images which, either in hindsight or at the time, made us question our existence.

When Ames Store founder Amy Tran e-mailed FashioNZ on March 4th with a press release about her latest capsule collection, it stopped us in our tracks.
Amidst the flutter of late 2023/early 2024 fashion industry jitters including the shuttering of New Zealand labels Mina, Hej-Hej and Benjamin Alexander, not to mention fire sale after fire sale from every brand under the sun, dumping stock and referring to it kindly as an Archive Sale, here was a local label that was throwing a sartorial Hail Mary. Amy’s announcement described a small, independent label that was trialing a solution to fashion’s ..read more

How your footwear faves of 2023 have evolved to take on a new year
Footwear is hands down the most polarising accessory of any season. Take the mesh ballet flat for example. Right now, caged and sheer bejewelled ballerinas are lining shelves everywhere, from high-end designers such as Alaia (which launched the cult mesh ballet flat of 2023) Khaite and Christopher Esber to high street retailers including Zara, Tony Bianco and Decjuba. It’s a shoe that you either love or you hate, and whichever way you lean, you’ll likely die on that hill, at least for a season.
Shoes have always been a status s ..read more
