This is WFW 2014: The Carpenters Daughter

My sole reason for heading down to Wellington was to attend The Carpenters Daughter’s runway show at Wellington Fashion Week. To some of you this might not be a big deal, you might just be thinking “so Meagan went to another fashion show, whatevs”, but for me it really was more than just another fashion show.

Wellington Fashion Week

We don’t see plus sized bodies on the catwalk in New Zealand. Like, I’ve never seen a woman over a size 16 on a catwalk here, and I’ve been to a lot of fashion events in my time. We just don’t get shows dedicated to plus size bodies. When I go to events for department stores that stock plus sizes, they often won’t show the plus size lines, or will only show a very very small selection, so to attend an entire show celebrating fashion for curvy babes actually blew my mind.

WIWT: DMONIC INTENT kaftan

I popped by NAKED Empire – The Style Syndicate last weekend, to check out what amazing things they had in stock. They stock stuff from DMONIC INTENT, SYRE, L.S.D. (Little Sister Designs) and Ahoy Cutie to name just a few, and while I was there I tried on a gorgeous “one size fits all” DMONIC INTENT kaftan. I didn’t expect it to fit me, because DMONIC INTENT is a straight size range that goes up to a 14 and I’m obviously much bigger than that, but when the girls urged me to try it on… well.

I have the worst case of FOMO right now. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been dreaming about  attending a show dedicated entirely to plus size fashion, and now that it’s actually happening I can’t go!

The Curvy Couture Roadshow is on Sunday the 30th of March 2014, and it’s the first plus size fashion event to be associated with the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival as well as the first event to showcase so many independent Australian plus size designers in one place. View Post

This is NZFW 2013: Day Four (plus DMONIC INTENT’s A.O.K. Show)

NZFWThe Miromoda Showcase was my most anticipated event of the week – partly because I had some friends who were showing their new collection and partly because I get really excited about seeing other Māori artists succeeding!

This is NZFW 2013: Day Three

NZFWIt seems like NZFW was ages ago! And I guess it has been a few weeks … my bad. Life just kind of got in the way, and I didn’t have time to even look through my photos from day three and day four of New Zealand Fashion Week! I’m determined to remedy that post haste though, so while I have a spare moment I want to tell you about the New Zealand Fashion Designer group show that I went to on day three.
