On a blustery and windier-than-windy spring day, FishHead found these stylish young folk also braving the cold…
Name: Shehan Joseph | Age: 29 | What: Musical director at ARISE Church | Where from: Wellington | Describe your style: “Whatever tickles my fancy!” | Shehan wore a jean vest from an Australian boutique, casually thrown over a Federation T‑shirt. He confesses his jeans are actually woman’s skinny legs from Jeans West, but who would know when they are paired with awesome Adidas socks and a pair of slick Nikes? The hat and glasses are the result of some online shopping indulgence.
Name: Tama Whiting | Age: 22 | What: Student | Where from: Wellington | Describe your style: “Colourful, comfortable” | Tama’s colourful get-up stood out on the bleak sidewalk. He was prepared for the weather, wearing multiple layers, including a sweater bought in San Francisco and a funky Burton jacket. Paired with WeSC jeans and crisp Nike Roshe Runs, he’s all about comfort from head to toe.
Name: Shaylah Minhinnick | Age: 20 | Occupation: Retail at Recycle Boutique | Where from: Auckland | Describe your style: “Changes daily!” | Shaylah’s awesome patterned pants were the stand-out. She even made them herself! Her job at Recycle Boutique puts her in prime position for the other goodies she’s sporting: a velvet crop jumper, thrown over a cute black crop singlet (originally from Good as Gold) and a wicked belt. How about those well-worn sk8-Hi Vans? Fresh!
Name: Shuya Gao | Age: 20 | What: Student | Where from: China | Describe your style: “Cute chic” | FishHead saw Shuya enjoying some mid-week op-shopping and couldn’t help but stop her on the street. She wears a bold Lazy Oaf jacket on top and some cute pastel pink jeans from Zara — perfect for spring. She’s clutching a Nood bag and sporting a range of accessories from China.
