The weather in Wellington may be cooling down, but the fashion is just as hot! FishHead roamed the waterfront and spotted these rays of style sunshine on an otherwise very grey day.
Name: Marama Winchcombe | Age: 14 | Occupation: Student at St Peter’s College, Palmerston North | Describe your style: “Relaxed and retro.” | Marama caught FishHead’s eye right away with her effortless, retro style. We loved the way she tucked a classic striped tee into her grandmother’s girlfriend jeans for that spot-on 1990s feel. Marama’s black Nike sneakers kept her feet comfortable while walking around Te Papa, and her thrift-shop cap added to the sporty-casual vibe. Too cool for school!
Name: Michael Lough | Age: 18 | Occupation: Student at Auckland University of Technology | Describe your style: “Original and ‘handsy’ — whatever’s on hand!” | FishHead spotted Michael on his way back from having a drink with his Wellington friends. He successfully harnessed style icons James Dean and River Phoenix with windswept hair, his brother’s chinos and a light-wash denim jacket from Valencia, Spain. Michael admitted his love for op shops while showing off his brown leather Forest Hill boat shoes, which he picked up for an amazing $14
Name: Sean Feehan | Age: 27 | Occupation: Musician and Roxy jack-of-all-trades | Describe your style: “Purple goth and modern-day shaman.” | Sean was grabbing a takeaway long black when FishHead couldn’t resist snapping his green snakeskin jeans from Cosmic. Sean chatted to us about music and style icons Russell Brand and Noel Fielding, while we admired his scarf (the result of a soft spot for a “gorgeous” saleswoman). His brown leather jacket was nabbed off his mum and his belt is ‘vintage’ Hallensteins…vintage circa 2007 of course!
Name: Victoria Wilks | Age: 42 | Occupation: Wedding celebrant | Describe your style: “Flashes of colour paired with classic Wellington black! | Victoria was admiring Wellington Harbour with her adorable children when FishHead noticed her stand-out orange handbag from Atticus. Victoria’s printed pants added to her eye-catching look, while a cosy black cardigan kept her warm from the Wellington winds (both from her new favourite store Decjuba). We especially loved Victoria’s attention to detail, with her perfectly paired op-shop shoes, Maxx tortoiseshell sunglasses and orange necklace from a Plimmerton jewellery store.
