Stolen Girlfriends Club, complete with a cardboard cut-out Luke Harwood, put an element of surprise into everything they did at their show last week. The men's range was launched outside, thankfully the rain held off, whilst all and sundry wondered if they had seen the entire show only to be corralled into the larger shed for the show proper. Scaffold dominated the catwalk and the vibe was suitably electric before the opening scene revisited the famous McQueen backstage silhouette concept in red. The first group of models came out onto the catwalk wearing, well, prom dresses, only to stop and discard them on the catwalk to reveal the real collection beneath. Lots of fun, a heaving room, a little mystery, this is why we love Stolen Girlfriends Club. Styled by a very busy Zara Mirken (three show week) with great hair by Greg Murrell and the Ryder Salon team using KMS California and make-up of course by M.A.C with New York maestro Fatima Thomas at the helm backstage was tight, and right on the night. Photographer Greg Novak beautifully captures the backstage hair and make-up teams in action...

NZFW 2011 backstage photo essay by Greg Novak # 1: Jimmy D
NZFW 2011 backstage looks by Greg Novak #1: Jimmy D
Jimmy D returned to NZFW 2011 with a punkish, light and dark ode to witchery that celebrated all that is dark and mystical or the fire in between. "It's a Kind of Magick" signalled a strengthening of the Jimmy D vision, a maturing of the relationship with three-year artistic collaborator Andrew McCloud and simple but strong ideas from long time stylist Chris Lorimer. M.A.C key Amber D demonstrating her ability to put the 'artist' into make-up artist also continues to mature and Liana Coscia headed up the hair team for Fudge with a mix of braided and free-flowing locks. We'll follow this post with a documentary-style photo essay of the crew and models backstage by Greg Novak.
