Salasai at NZFW










I know i'm late but I've got no followers so I think no one will really notice. Salasai was on my top three list of best shows - I thought the exposition of androgyny played well into the aesthetic Salasai has become well known for. Kirsha also showed her mastery in her innate ability to use modern and industrial fabrics which showed itself in tartan ponchos and maxi's, print on print suits and drop crotch pants - a staple for any Salasai wearer. I thought the menswear was incredible - navy shorts were matched with check shirts with navy sleeves, while more delicate looks included short sheer shirts and tartan pants. The knitwear was amazing as well; an ode to cashmere in all in luxe glory. It was perfect mix of romantic gothicism and punk edginess, with the softness still present. It made me, or anyone for that matter, wanna be a Salasai boy or girl.
