I am also a big cobalt fan. Interesting about the furry vests too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313235 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 23:24:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2313235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Suz as well as the coat there was a lovely cobalt sweater (wool blend) shown from the same store. It had balloon sleeves though, since I already have one with balloon sleeves which is my 1986 original I wasn’t sure that I should get another. Might see if any are left next time that store has a sale as it would be lovely with my sparkly cobalt booties and black pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313219 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 21:29:35 +0000 Suz 2313219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's fun to see the trends in action and also how the organizers interpret them. So cobalt, lavender and pink for autumn/ winter (since that is your upcoming season)? Interesting.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313217 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 21:10:21 +0000 Sal 2313217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun Jenni!&nbsp; I went to a similar type of show in spring and I really enjoyed it.&nbsp; My sister purchased a dress shown and I purchased some shorts for my husband!&nbsp; There were a range of models which really helps you envisage the pieces on you!&nbsp; In this case I think the models were all volunteers.</p> <p>I am pleased to see cobalt back too - it's such a happy positive colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313205 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 18:14:38 +0000 Jenni NZ 2313205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess April we have been in crowds in NZ for a lot of the pandemic, since we closed our borders and became zero Covid for almost a year ( people that came in spent initially 2 weeks in quarantine hotels) so we were in crowds then and also in parts of 2021 before Delta. Then we only had much of the population catch Covid in 2022. I didn’t get it myself for the first and so far only time until November 2022.<br /> It feels normal except if I cough (which I do at times due to asthma) I feel hyper aware of it!<br /> Carla I think with my poor view I didn’t notice the pants that much but do remember many were wide legs or joggers and I think full length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313190 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 16:07:42 +0000 Anonymous 2313190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following your example, I may pull out my old faux fur vest. It would be right for the weather we are having now. Thank you for sharing this fashion show with us.the current trends may take a year or more to get here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313186 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 14:51:07 +0000 Carla 2313186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt winter coat sounds delicious. &nbsp;Any notes on silouhette? &nbsp;Pants shape and lengths? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313172 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 11:11:10 +0000 April 2313172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This kind of fashion show can be inspiring in such a different way than a couture show.&nbsp; Reality vs. fantasy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>How was it being in a crowd again?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313171 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 08:20:31 +0000 Jenni NZ 2313171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Bijou I have worn my newer sparkly cobalt boots from 2021 19 times. I still miss the previous even brighter ones that I felt had died for me as misshapen and scuffed after 111 wears :(<br /> Would be open to a different shape maybe, not booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313168 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 07:41:40 +0000 Bijou 2313168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see cobalt is back after many years of rarely being available. I would love a pair of cobalt pumps or mary-janes with a 2-3cm heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313162 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 04:43:27 +0000 rachylou 2313162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun and interesting. I feel the colours validate Angie’s analysis of where things are going(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-fashion-show-in-auckland-nz#post-2313145 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 02:18:56 +0000 Jenni NZ 2313145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone yesterday our local small shopping mall (my favourite one, called Milford Shopping Centre) had a fashion show. It’s an upmarket mall with lots of clothing and shoe shops. Some people visit from the other side of the city. It was also a “Viva La France” themed day for the wider shopping area which is a bit bigger than the mall. Not sure that they’ve had a fashion show since a slightly bigger one -which was held in the downstairs car park and for which I might (?) have paid to get a numbered ticket -in 2016. Certainly not since the pandemic.<br /> I thought you might enjoy what trends have filtered down here to autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.<br /> Lots of diversity in the female models in ethnicity and in body shape. No males as no menswear shown. A couple of younger boys as well as girls showed children’s clothes.<br /> Colours: lavender, hot pink, cobalt blue, beige, golden/tan snakeskin were all shown. Lavender and pink specifically mentioned in commentary.<br /> Shoes- lots of black combat boots and sneakers with everything still.<br /> Some dressier boots and shoes- possibly slingbacks that were slightly pointy?- in some blues and greens and the hot pink and the aforementioned snakeskin. ( I had to sit on the floor and could not see all the outfits for long.)<br /> Some vests including a faux fur one that was very similar to but not (IMO) as nice as my 2012 one which I still have but have not worn for a few years. So it might come out for another whirl.<br /> It was fun to see. Nothing I had to have. I tried one beautiful cobalt long wool coat on afterwards but the fit was off. I have a cobalt jacket already anyway.<br /> This show was free. Some seating was first come first served otherwise the floor or standing. Just held in a central area where there used to be a cafe. I suppose it was free so they could draw people into the mall. I didn’t spend anything though but I have in the past.<br /> No pics sorry my view wasn’t good enough. </p>
