Summer is upon us, which means longer evenings, days at the beach and summer fashion! FishHead scoped out Cuba Street, looking for fashion-forward locals who were ready for the heat.
Name: Caleb Snowden | Age: 20 | What: Student | Where from: Taup | Describe your style: “What I like! Really just a bit of everything” | Caleb is ready for summer with his Huffer shorts and Five Each T‑shirt. He wore a pair of Nike Roshes — a Wellington wardrobe essential — and a Nixon watch to cap his practical and casual style. He topped off his look with an on-trend topknot, which seemed to be a theme among our male models today!Name: Seni Cho | Age: 24 | What: Communications | Where from: Christchurch |Describe your style: “Mellow and practical” |Seni’s fresh white Ruby dress screamed summer, along with her bright blue Ray-Bans, which added a pop of colour to her outfit. Her oversized Mimco bag and Isabel Marant shoes added an element of style and practicality, but it was her colourful mini-doughnut bracelet from Bedrock that really caught our eye!Name: Ray Letoa | Age: 27 | What: Bartender | Where from: Wellington | Describe your style: “Poor; everything I wear I get for free” | FishHead spotted Ray’s pants and fell in love with them. After getting him to strike a pose, we learnt that he had not paid for anything he was wearing! His Adidas hoodie and slick shoes were sponsorship gear, and those fantastic pants were given to him when he bartended at the La De Da festival! Bacardi sunglasses complete his look.Name: Heather Carew | Age: Don’t be nosy! |Occupation: Traveller | Where from: Wellington | Describe you style: “Casual” | Heather was strutting down Cuba Street like it was the Champs-Élysées in Paris when we spotted her vibrant red hair. This self-confessed traveller reminisced about her travels as she showed us her scarf from Italy and her bag from France. A traveller needs to be comfortable, yet stylish, which is why Heather opted for sneakers from Hush Puppies, pants from Identity and a colourful Max top.
