Name: Kirsty Tang | Occupation: Test analyst | Where from originally: Malaysia | When FishHead stopped Kirsty, she was looking stylish in layered patterns and textures, including a shaggy white cardigan from Topshop, and decorative leggings from Pull & Bear. While she likes to purchase pieces online, her favourite places to shop in Wellington are Ruby Boutique and Country Road. When asked what her shopping criteria was, Kirsty keeps it simple: “When I see it and like it, I buy it!”
Name: Scott Roy | Occupation: Musician in local band The Polly Johnson Set | Where from originally: Melbourne | Scott was taking time out at a café when FishHead spotted him. The multi-talented musician (bass, banjo, mandolin and guitar) was wearing a beloved leather jacket from Opportunity for Animals, a pair of smart leather shoes (a gift) and, to break up the ensemble, a colourful stripy sweater from Melbourne, which he’s owned for “about a century”. He revels in an op-shop special.
Name: Xoe Hall | Occupation: Artist in many media | Where from originally: Plimmerton | Xoe dresses in a way that reflects her occupation as a muralist, pop-artist, glitterist, children’s book illustrator and all-round creative human. She wears what she calls her “’90s teacher pants”, bought from SaveMart’s children’s section five years ago, with sunglasses from Recycle Boutique, Dr Marten boots covered in paint, and jewellery from Emporium. Born a thrifter, Xoe loves all style genres.
Name: Josh Joe-McIndoe | Occupation: Architecture student at Victoria | Where from originally: Lower Hutt | Josh was in Newtown doing wind readings for an architecture project — there was certainly lots of it to work with on the typically windy Wellington day! Choosing to dress for comfort, Josh wore a comfortable checked blue flannelette shirt — a second-hand SaveMart number. A confessed sneaker fanatic, he wears some fresh Adidas kicks bought online from the UK, but is also a fan of Nike and Reebok.
