KATHRYN WILSON X VEUVE CLICQUOT
It’s been 200 years since Madame Clicquot blended the world’s first rosé champagne, and to honour the occasion, footwear designer and Veuve Clicquot ambassador Kathryn Wilson (who recently celebrated her own brand’s 15-year anniversary; see page 82) has designed a special-edition rosé-pink belt, available for $99. kathrynwilson.com
MAAIKE X EVIE KEMP
Marimekko-inspired designs meet 1970s silhouettes in Maaike’s SS19 ‘Rebel Flower’ collection, whose dynamic colour palette and clashing prints are the work of Auckland artist Evie Kemp. Known for her bold aesthetic, she hasn’t held back on the brief and the result is resortwear that really says summer. maaikeclothing.com
OVNA OVICH X WUNDAIRE
An offering inspired by designer Marina Davis’s mother, personal touches underscore Ovna Ovich’s SS19 ‘A Beautiful Life’ collection, for which she has enlisted Wellington-based ceramicist Felicity Donaldson of Wundaire to create handmade clay buttons as well as pendants for the marble-like Bol earrings, made in a three-way collaboration with Tauranga jeweller Natalia Peri. ovnaovich.com
