Couture for Christchurch
Urbis has invited some of New Zealand’s top fashion talents to make a bespoke white cotton dress. The stunning creations were shot on location in Urbis issue 64 (in stores now) and soon you will have the opportunity to make one of these unique pieces yours. The designers involved include Juliette Hogan, Adrian Hailwood, Salasai, Alexandra Owen and Taylor Boutique.
The Couture for Christchurch charity auction will be run as a collaboration between Urbis and Webbs Auction House. You are invited to the stylish auction event on 2 December 2011.
