Autumn sartorial splendor: Made in the shade
One of the most spectacular seasons of the year, autumn is a mystical interlude between summer and winter when nature dresses in a striking, forever changing array of colours.
The pageantry of purple, russet and burnished gold mixed with brushstrokes of lilac, moss green, heather blue, and smoky grey, makes for a landscape of dramatic contrasts.
Made in the Shade celebrates the splendour of autumn with collections from the most renowned of New Zealand and international labels.
Anne Mardell excels at the mix and match, so switch it up in classic corduroy trousers with a delicate floral blouse, or exclusive Tundra print tee, beneath a pure wool car coat for a timeless look.
Bittermoon, creator of the four seasons Carly dress, flaunts spicy tops to take you out to lunch, but also plays it cool in luxurious velvet sweaters, perfect for after-dinner strolling under a moonlit sky.
Optimum knitwear exudes exuberance in everything from poppy red to lupin blue, or if you’re feeling a little continental, a jersey featuring a red-bereted dachshund is very oh là là.
Canadian label Lisette adds the finishing touch in plain or patterned pants guaranteed to have you striding into autumn looking a blaze of glory.
