New NZ high end urban fashion label Brooklyn Zoo joins forces with NZ hottest jewellery label Culet to launch “Brooklynism” 2011 winter collection. Bringing some NY sophisticated swagger to NZ runway on Monday 9th May 2011 at the fashionistas hot spot Sale St.
The Exclusive VIP launch will be hosted by local hottie Shortland Street star Ido Drent. It will feature Sony signed artist Seth Happu and band. The event is invite only and will feature live jazz and a runway show of the new collection.
Walking will also be 2011 “Cleo Bachelor of the Year” Nick Oswald who just graced the pages of the latest Cleo and to heighten anticipation a wild card international star will be unveiled on the night which already has social photographers buzzing.
“Brooklyn Zoo Clothing is a new 100% made in NZ high end label which embodies New York’s urban style with high end sophisticated feel and cuts. The 2011 Winter Collection ‘Brooklynism’ captures Gotham City drawing influence from New York’s raw urban landscapes, geography, architecture and structural lines differentiated by typography, photography and New York slang. Brooklynism definitely sets the tone for future Brooklyn Zoo collections.” Says designer Joel Willliams.
The young entrepreneur just sold his previous urban label to upgrade to designing a more prestigious tasting brand. His former label was successfully sold online and stocked in the Christchurch Boutique Fridge Freezer Ice Box store and dressed the likes of NZ Urban artists J Williams & Vince Harder.
“We are excited to be partnering with Brooklyn Zoo hitting the streets of NZ. Culet will be the exclusive jewellery brand accessorizing the look and feel of the runway show. We love seeing local NZ talent taking it to a new level in the fashion scene” Says Scott Nicols who co-directs “Culet jewellery” with household name Dane Rumble.
