AIR NEW ZEALAND FASHION WEEK FAVES OF THE DAY
Designer Cybèle Wiren
Based Auckland
Cybèle is perhaps best described by RunwayReporter.com as “providing thinking women everywhere with clothes that are in equal measures original, clever, pretty, sexy and very much of the moment.”
Not distracted by obvious trends, each cohesive and multi-faceted collection is defined by distinctive custom prints designed in-house, innovative cuts and a striking use of pattern. Cybèle’s style is youthful and directional, feminine with a bold graphic edge.
Garments from her range are regularly featured in media both from NZ and further afield. Recent coverage includes pieces in Vogue Taiwan, Nippon Vogue, Sportswear International, Nylon (Japan) and Nylon (US).
Currently in it’s 12th season Cybèle is stocked in boutiques throughout New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. Needless to say the label is quickly establishing a popular following.

Designer Kylee Davis
Based Auckland
Stitch Ministry is a directional and youthfully-sophisticated globally-focused brand that delivers an all-sensory experience through the linking of fashion, perfume, music and art. It is about creating individual expression with style and attracting those with a discerning eye for the relevant while having regard for the element of timelessness.
Since launching in late 2006, Stitch Ministry’s Jason Gitmans (Gitmans Knitwear) and Kylee Davis (ex-Insidious Fix) have successfully released four collections under this inspirational new brand, secured more than 70 accounts throughout Australasia and received prolific positive media coverage.
With Kylee and Jason’s combined 25 years of knitwear experience the labels cornerstone is their knits, but they also produce other wardrobe ‘must-haves’ for the independent modern woman. And playing support to the main event is the seasonal offer of fresh music and art by emerging local contributors as well as a limited edition perfume.
Some call it runway street-wear, others boutique urban-wear and while it is definitely both, the essence of Stitch Ministry is the unique combination of elements that delivers a contemporary cultural experience.
