The fashion designer on the allure of big old cities, and the power of negative space.
Just back from… Four weeks, possibly the longest trip I’ve ever done, in the US and Canada, launching our collaboration with Madewell in NYC, then holidaying with family in the Hudson Valley, Toronto and LA.
Next up… Lots of domestic travel around New Zealand, to great spots I don’t normally get to, and then to Shanghai for the first time.
Growing up in Auckland spoilt me in terms of harbours.
I set the bar very high. I only really feel comfortable in a city by the sea and feel most at home in cities with a harbour. Auckland is small and relatively young, so when I travel I want to go to cities that are big or have a strong history of architecture, art and culture. London, Paris, Rome, New York – they tick all the boxes.
