Julie Chamberlain | Age? 42 | From? Christchurch | What? Administrator | Your Style? Things that suit me that are comfortable | She’s a mod, she’s a mod, she’s a mod, yeah, yeah! Chamberlain’s 1960s-inspired look of green overcoat and plaid nautical dress is paired with ever-essential black leather boots. Her green trench coat was ideal for the unusually crisp weather, and her neutral-coloured bag, black boots and tights offset the busier pattern of her perfectly tailored dress.

Lisa Wadsworth | Age? 37 | From? Auckland | What? Fashion designer | Your Style? Whatever strikes me at the time | Wadsworth was an obvious choice and easily explained: she is a fashion designer. She wears a dressy casual look, with staple black skinny jeans from Country Road, circular tinted Glassons glasses, a furry grey vest and high-top sneakers. The fur vest adds texture to her all-black ensemble; overall, this look is sleek but fun.

Dylan Wasson | Age? 20 | From? Mt Cook | What? Student | Your style? Whatever is clean | Wasson’s bold, colourful, clashing prints echo 1990s fashion and evoke The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Wearing a Lazy Oaf shirt with hamburger-print sleeves sourced from his workplace, Good as Gold, and leopard-print Stussy shorts, Wasson completes the look with white high-top Chuck Taylors, Ray-Ban sunglasses and an epic beard.

Malcolm Hopword | Age? 68 |From? Palmerston North |What? PR consultant | Your Style? Inspired by a time when a man could wear a shirt and tie and know how to be fashionable | The impeccably dapper Hopword, who was on his way to work when we spotted him, sports a smart grey suit jacket, white shirt and boldly striped tie. His dress trousers are matched with black leather shoes and a leather bag. Hopword describes his attire perfectly in just three words: “formal, conservative, metrosexual”.

Holly Bagge

Holly has recently moved back to her home city after spending four years at Otago University completing her Bachelor of Arts in art history and media studies. She spends her days fuelling the public's caffeine addiction as a barista and hanging out at FishHead Towers fitting into her interning position. Bagge's position include visiting art galleries, reading, drinking tea obsessively and watching back-to-back episodes of Peep Show. She is a connoisseur of zombie films, one of her favourites being the original Dawn of the Dead. Much to her dismay, her last name is pronounced "bag" as in "plastic bag".
