Stolen Girlfriends Club
A personal favourite, Stolen Girlfriends Club continues to give a welcome fix of delinquency to the New Zealand fashion scene. Their initial following cherished their oversized t-shirts with cheeky slogans, but while they are in no danger of maturing (thankfully), their range of garments develop each season to cover denims, knits and such covertable items as silver hot pants. Their latest release, unashamedly entitled Elegantly Wasted, will allow you to look completely fabulous while behaving badly. Combining black and white with electric metallics and an alcoholic lime, it’s the kind of clothing you were meant to blow all your cash on before committing to your rent.

This looks a lot like they took the idea of House of Holland.

SGC have been doing their parady on the Katharine Hamnett original Tees for about 2 years. And as a satire, they are looking to invert or update on another’s work anyhow.
Also, I totally believe in the communal consciousness, that out environment is getting so much smaller all the time anyhow – so that we are being influenced by the same stuff more and more. But as for House of Holland in particular, I think you will find that these clever Kiwi boys have quiet an independant train of thought.

Re: Paris Wallets
This is a misquote from an interview with the artist Damien Hirst – the full quote actually reads: ‘Art is like medicine – it can heal. Yet I’ve always been amazed at how many people believe in medicine but don’t believe in art, without questioning either.’
