Show Notes
One of the things I am very passionate about is the fabric or more specifically the fibre that garments are made from. The fibre content of the garments you wear has a big impact on so many aspects of the fit, cost, performance, look, drape and handle (how the fabric feels next to your skin) of a garment. In this podcast I explore the difference between man made and natural fibres and cover off the pros and cons of each. Natural fibres are:
Cotton Wool Silk Linen
Manmade are:
Nylon Polyester Elastane
Natural fibres that require a lot of chemical processing:
Rayon Viscose Bamboo

For the past few years I have had the privilege of being a delegate at NZ Fashion week in Auckland. This is a coming together of all people in fashion, a chance to see what is coming up for the new season and a great chance to talk fashion non stop with people who are interested lol. In this episode I discuss the shows I went to, a little bit about the designers and what we can expect in the season ahead. I also discuss the history of NZ Fashion week and how it has evolved. If you are interested in the Christchurch version of Fashion week which is 15 - 18th of October please click the link below to book tickets.
