New Zealand Fashion Scene

Trouser Suits

Pure virgin wool flannel, checked and plain, is used by Maida Vale for these long-jacket look alike trouser suits. How do you like the matching cap?

Revolutionary Knitwear

Described as one of the major innovations in the knitting field in recent years, revolutionary TD Orion will appear on the New Zealand market shortly. A specially processed yarn, which produces a clearly-defined stitch, vivid expression of colour, better dimensional stability, resistance to surface distortion, and higher elasticity, it is shown in two long-sleeve, craw neck styles.

Sporty

Harris tweed is used in a mod manner in this Alexon design by Cantwell Creations, featuring rounded lapels and a self belt.

Switchabout

Value-for-money girls will appreciate the sound good sense, fashionwise and finance-wise, of this switchabout Woolmark set by Southwell of Auckland. Jacket, skirt, and slacks in navy pure virgin wool jersey teams well with a red overblouse, featuring a navy motif for a terrific trouser suit or a smart conventional three-piece suit.

Smart and Neat

This slack suit, with a long-sleeved jacket, is one of the new Crimplene fabric garments unveiled to the clothing trade at a fashion show in Auckland last month. The new fabric, a big success overseas, is a crimped Terylene.
