Speed meets style

Sharp silhouettes, playful poise and power poses from both pooch and person command attention against a thriving city backdrop. High end but not high maintenance, life in Christchurch is more stylish with a ‘pawtner’ in crime.

DOG DAYS ARE (NOT) OVER: Tessa and Mason strike a pose at the Bridge of Remembrance. Tessa pairs Camilla and Marc jacket and shorts with an AllSaints boot and Marc Jacobs bag, all from Ballantynes. Sunglasses from AHLEM, earrings Tessa’s own. Mason sports a Greyhounds As Pets tiger stripes collar.

PAWS AND RELAX: Jorja, Patch and Mason read the latest Metropol outside Riverside Market. An AllSaints blouse, Shona Joy midi skirt and suede Radley clutch from Ballantynes offer three-dimensional texture. AHLEM sunglasses. Patch wears a Greyhounds As Pets collar.

Treat me! Patch ogles his next morsel in a Greyhounds As Petscollar at the iconic steps of Christchurch’s Old Government Building (OGB). Jorja laughs along in a Twenty Seven Names coat. Paired with a Caitlin Crisp crew and Deadly Ponies bag from Ballantynes.
Hi Barbie! In her Kathryn Wilson pumps from Ballantynes, Jorja and Patch mirror the sartorial spirit of the global blockbuster film.

La dolce vita: Tessa and Mason serve Italian chic in the middle of a busy Cashel Mall.
A Dark Hampton silk scarf heroes Tessa’s monochromatic look, alongside a Karen Walker jacket and Zoe Kratzmann jean from Ballantynes, and Andrea Biani boot. Mason wears a Greyhounds As Pets collar.
Ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog: Patch leads Jorja around town in a Greyhounds As Pets collar. A Twenty Seven Names skirt adds billowing city-suited whimsy to Jorja’s Caitlin Crisp blazer from Ballantynes. Matching her
Andrea Biani pumps, a red silk Dark Hampton scarf pops out from a Radley shoulder bag from Ballantynes.
