“Stylist’s Own” is an exploration of Aotearoa/New Zealand dress and fashion in the early 21st century. My project celebrates urban and rural expressions of dress, that can be recognised as uniquely New Zealand in flavour. I have investigated these expressions by scrutinising and re-presenting a range of garments. These garments have been selected as they reflect and prevail in New Zealand culture and history alongside New Zealand fashion design.
