Hogan knows best
Juliette Hogan brought us back to the future with her Winter 09
collection at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.
Entitled Mind Your Manners, Hogan showed simplistic yet
sophisticated fashion seemingly inspired by the 1940s and
50s.
Floral patterns and delicate colours were a feature as Hogan
displayed her third solo collection at the Auckland Viaduct.
A solo trumpeter set the scene for the show as the standing
room-only audience at Shed 2 waited for the models.
And certainly Hogan set herself apart right from the off from some
of the earlier brash colours of World or Kirrily Johnstons
collection inspired by the "underground opium dens of Paris and
Shanghai".
Her designs were a mix of pale, cream and greys, with occasional
bursts of violet. Accessories were kept to a minimum with simple
chunky shiny boots and black belts on show.
Jackets were slim and fitting with the only extravagance coming
from some star splattered skirts and tops.
Mind Your Manners was a subtle, classy and wearable collection
which will continue to build Hogans profile.
