First week back this week, have been a bit sluggish to start, with grey skies and snow on the mountains. Thank goodness the week has ended on a high with Luke back from Hanoi bringing back some of my precious Winter samples. They look great and I can’t wait to show them to you all …but you will have to wait! My marketing guru Sharon was back today bubbly with ideas and sporting a Kaikoura tan which we are very jealous of here!

It is hard to believe it but my Winter Coat collection is due to arrive in the next few weeks and I am delighted to finally announce that for the first time, my coat collection will be available for you to buy directly on-line.  So prepare to fall in love with these divine and decadent silk velvet coats. I am extremely happy with this new collection as I have gone back to my signature style, and have embellished them with delicate hand embroidered designs, velvet roses and sexy sequins. Hopefully there will be a coat to suit all of you!

I am stoked to have been invited to show my new collection of coats at the at the Stella Artois International Polo Invitational in the Angela Stone Fashion Tent in Christchurch on the 24th January 2010.  It sounds like a fabulous event, check here for the details. You can also read more about the story at TV3 news.

Looking forward to an extremely exciting and productive 2010. I can’t wait to bring you new designs and news from our workroom!
