Debuting their first solo show, Company of Strangers AW ’13 collection was the perfect balance of punk, texture and minimalism. Titled Pop Shop, the AW 13 collection mainly comprised of black and white tones with splashes of red, purple, yellow and orange to seal the deal. Simple sleek pinned back parted hair and ear cuffs add…

COOP is New Zealand superstar designer Trelise Cooper’s younger, hipper diffusion label though in the past in my opinion has yet to completely find its niche until this year.

Highly anticipated debut show (second for the day 1) was label COOP by Lauren and Samantha. Having no clue about this label, I did a bit of a google – though that didn’t help much. Being from Sydney, Australia meant I had a completely unbiased take on every designer showing at NZFW (with the exception…
