Fashion: New generation - fashion's brightest stars

At NZ Fashion Week this year, it was all about the new generation of young designers. Fashion's new breed of talent easily stole the limelight with their standout collections. From innovative and cutting-edge pieces to simply great wearable designs, they're ones to watch.

Jarrad Godman Nuke dress in silk print $320
This colourful shift dress is pure prin-tastic fun. Throw your fave leather jacket over the top if you want to tone it down a notch.

District top in cream of tomato $290
Benes trousers in burnt toffee $460
both from Penny Sage
High-waisted pants are a great choice for petite women as they give the illusion of height - and who doesn't love a bit of leg-lengthening?

Silk Tie shirt in green $250
Trousers in navy $299
both from Wynn Hamlyn
The ocean tones of this marbled top bring out the green in hazel eyes.

Illumine Jumpsuit in khaki $180
Sunglasses $39
both from Blackeyepeach
Add a flat sandal and a scarf to take this look into the weekend.

Silk Gravity dress in Space Print $385
Silk Tide jacket in Sea Foam $430
both from Maaike
If you want to hide a tummy, the feminine pleats and soft waist-tie cleverly help
disguise this area.

Twist-front shirt in sky blue $389
Reworked Vintage jeans $345
both from Eugenie
Love 'em or loathe 'em, "Mom" jeans are back. They're a hot fashion item right now and super-comfy to wear.

Telo top $209

both from Ovna Ovich
A bateau neckline helps balance out wider hips and highlights a lovely set of shoulders.
