Hero image for Made in Dunedin

Made in Dunedin

Television (Full Length) – 2007

"They were cold and they were poor and you could see those stylistic influences ... things they'd developed in their flats to resolve those problems became Margi's [NOM*d designer Margi Robertson] style solutions as well ..."
– Journalist Stacy Gregg on the influence of context on style
...Dunedin boasts more than two dozen fully-operational clothes designers, complete with offices and retail stores, cutting rooms and various plans for world domination.
– Narrator Elizabeth Hawthorne
In dark, moody Dunedin they haven't had to cope with anything as fatuous as fashion since the 80s, and all those dark, brooding Southern rock bands.
– Elizabeth Hawthorne
