Benny Ramsey | Age? 22 | What? Dance graduate and retail assistant | Your style? Preppy, nautical patterns, clean-cut | Staying true to his self-described nautical style, Ramsey opts for a simple striped shirt with rolled-up sleeves from Marcs. He teams this with cropped, skinny black jeans from SABA, brown leather lace-up boots from Ultra and, to give an extra dimension to the ensemble, a brown leather belt from ASOS. Ramsey cites James Dean as one of his fashion icons. We can see why.
Shesiedo Frederiks | Age? 30 | What? Communications manager and mother-to-be | Your style? Casual, with a bit of an edge | Claiming to be in her casual garb, Frederiks still looks chic to us. A fan of Jessica Alba’s style, Frederiks wears a trendy but relaxed look, including jumper from ASOS, collared white shirt from Zara, bold-patterned loose pants from Stella McCartney and a Marc Jacobs handbag. Frederiks also sports a baby bump, which is why she is wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
Jess Hall | Age? 26 | What? Bartender | Your style? Anything that I like and 1920s fashion | On her way to her job at the Black Sparrow, Hall is dressed in work-appropriate-but-fun attire, including a chiffon and lace shirt tucked into a layered, high-waisted black skirt from Temt. Slung over her shoulder is a striped Country Road bag, which along with her shoes, adds colour. And, in case anyone wants to know, her delicious looking ice-cream accessory is mango- and passion-fruit-flavoured.
Lee Kupferman | Age? 27 | What? Project manager | Your style? Classic, gut instinct | Kupferman was a man of modesty around his abundant style. Despite describing his look as “classic”, he steers away from the more traditional black suit, adding a modern spin in his bold blue selection from Barkers. His blue and white checked shirt from Marcs compliments his suit jacket and trousers, and he tops the look off with a pair of Marley headphones and a trusty leather satchel.
About 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”.
