We were lucky enough to host a fashion evening here at Aroha & Friends with some of our talented friends and lovely customers.
There were 3 fashion shows and each one was catered by Hapī with canapés and a cocktail which were themed around each collection.
It was such a fun night and we felt very grateful to everyone who came and all those involved in making it all come together.
Here are some of the images from the night, sadly none of the food but trust me when I say it was absolutely beautiful and delicious.

After a great NZFW2011 the Salasai team are back home and finished off their selling appointments with HOA. We asked Kirsha if she could give us her favourite picks from the collection and a little background to the range.
]]>EWH played a DJ gig in the bay recently and on their way to AKL stopped in to grab some tees and things. We sat down in the noisy shop for a real quick chat before they jumped in a van and headed north.
