iD Fashion Week | A Viewing

This month Bijou Studio presented its 2017 Collection Cicatrice at iD Fashion Show. We proudly exhibited our first commercial fashion collection alongside some of our amazing team of Designer-Makers: Amy Dunn, Winifred by Kenya Quin and Ariane Bray, whose slow fashion efforts continue to challenge the fashion industry in its current state. Also showing were some of our favourite high profile New Zealand brands including NOM*D, Lela Jacobs, Maaike, Company of Strangers and Ovna Ovich, whose ethical, onshore production leads the way in New Zealand slow fashion.

Our capsule collection tells the story of healing through a narrative of slowing down life to allow for recovery. It features illustrations from Canadian illustrator, Lila Stansberry, which portray the curative properties of plants. Styled with natural accessories by local florist Ayla Hawkins of Twigs N Twine and featuring music from Finn Petrie, CICATRICE seeks to reconcile the restorative aspects of nature with a reduction in speed to allow for healing, growth, and corporeal acquiescence.
