Street Chic at Harry’s

Behind the scenes at Wellington Fashion Week everyone was dressed to impressed, and those who’ve been around the fashion scene for a while were totally prepared to answer the question “Who are you wearing tonight?”

Wellington is well-known for sporting black on black, but most punters pulled some colour out of the wardrobe for the week’s events. I myself was guilty of a dark ensemble on Thursday 19th, but I assured a fellow blogger that I was going incognito on my first night to scope out the feel.

I was pleased to see that I was not overdressed. I think I’d always rather be overdressed than underdressed, and who doesn’t loved to get dolled up for special events? Everyone looked fabulous, whether in Gucci or a vintage school blazer from the 90s – as one stylish woman informed me on her look.

Check out some of the looks we spotted in the Harry’s media suite.
