Wella Fashion Report

This seasonal fashion report profiles New Zealand designers and their works — for every climate! Each episode revolves around a multi-designer runway, intercut with special features including interviews, history lessons, and tutorials on hair, make-up, and styling. Highlights include a look at the re-design of the St. Margaret's school uniforms (Spring 1998), a visit to designer Tanya Carlson in Dunedin (Summer 1998), following Kiwi brands to London Fashion Week (Winter 1999), and a deep dive on the past and future of lingerie (Autumn 1999). Presenter Rebecca Gibney is joined by Sonia Gray, Craig Parker and Irene Pink as roving reporters in the field. A full episode guide for the 45 minute episodes is here. 

School uniforms: All shapeless sacks designed to make growing girls feel as unattractive as possible? Not if you're fortunate enough to have your uniform designed by Barbara Lee.
