Friday Favourites
Since we’re thankful for making it through another week, we are back again to put together some of this week's favourites. So grab your coffee (or matcha) and let’s get the day started!
Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2020 campaign ‘Close’
The current state of the world has pushed the Fashion industry to explore new ways of showcasing their collections. With the Fashion world having to temporarily give up live audiences during runways as social distancing has become the norm, luxury brands have used creative ways to bless us with their collections all through digital media.
This collective artistic effort created during quarantine showcases a theme of proximity and intimacy through a series of photographs. Miuccia Prada loves to show off her feminine and creative side with her creations for Miu Miu. So in this collection, expect to see lots of appealing textures such as knits, taffeta, leather, fur, and satin on vintage-inspired silhouettes that have a sense of romantic nostalgia which is so, Miu Miu.
Shot by a broad range of creatives, these photographs assembled in collages document the backstage scenes during the Fall/Winter 2020 show in Paris back in March. The Polaroid-style photos add a more casual and domestic feel to the traditional fashion shoot.

Enjoy a melodic night at the Winter Wiata
Three world-renowned artists have combined forces to present a musical event consisting of opera favourites, art songs, and popular tunes. Pianist Catharine Norton collaborates with soprano Isabella Moore and baritone Benson Wilson upon their recent return from London. Recognising the absence of music-making in recent times, the internationally trained musicians have crafted a special night of music for all to enjoy. Watching this harmonious trio perform is the perfect way to spend a winter evening, and is only taking place for two separate nights this August. You are invited to join them and other special guest artists in Hastings on August 6th, and in Wellington on August 8th.
