Fantabulous fall fashion: Made in the Shade

Christchurch in autumn is nothing short of dramatic, from Hagley Park to the sweeping Banks Peninsula, it flaunts the season’s colours with a flamboyant magnificence.

Meanwhile, in the world of fashion, innovative designers love the challenge of changing seasons, and this year, fall arrives resplendent in fabulous fabrics of glorious hues.

Made in the Shade showcases the new arrivals with favourite labels leading the way in comfort, style and effortless elegance.

Anne Mardell teams bright boxy jackets with vivid dresses in romantic florals or edgy patterns, and Bittermoon brings back the Carly dress, the wardrobe essential adored by Aotearoa women. Optimum features luxurious knits, from elegant wrap jackets in natty navy and dove grey to jaunty Fair Isle sweaters, frilled cardigans in pretty pastels and the oh-so-versatile waistcoat.

Lisette pants flatten the stomach and lift the bottom. Team with an Optimum Arun knit for classic chic or mix it up with a Bittermoon velvet cowl-neck for a touch of arty verve.

Ali goes out of her way to give quality service and advice in helping women achieve a working, wearable wardrobe.
