Lucie Marquis is a British-based fashion designer with tangible New Zealand links. Her maternal grand-parents live in Pukekohe and other family live close by. In 2006, on a whim, she entered Dunedin's Vodafone ID Emerging Designer Awards as an overseas entrant. She was joint-winner that year and enjoyed New Zealand so much she is back for an extended stay to work, learn more about our fashion industry, and enjoy the New Zealand summer. Having recently completed a stint as designer for the iconic Betty Jackson, and having a role at Burberry and Sonia Rykiel Paris prior to that, Lucie is currently assisting Black Fashion Director Rachael Churchward on this issue and will be main assistant to Rachael on the Huffer show at this year's Air New Zealand Fashion Week. Haere mai Lucie...
