under the wing




 




 



Today I spent a lovely afternoon with Hannah getting fresh juice at Gnome in Surry Hills and visiting the Under the Wing showroom. It was amazing to see such a strong collection of local (and NZ) labels and the studio itself was beautiful, think white walls and timber floors and racks and racks of beautiful clothes.
1. Dress Up
I've spoken about how much I love Stephanie's designs before and the winter collection definitely didn't disappoint. Her classic high-waisted, tapered trousers are back in my favourite colour for winter (burgundy for ever) and I immediately fell for the simple turtle neck top.

2 & 3. Lonely Hearts
Oh how lovely this burgundy parka is. I forgot to take a photo but it has this cute Navajo print lining inside and I love the shearling detail around the collar. 

4. The lovely Georgia who took us around the showroom. I have been wanting that BRVTVS Claudia bracelet for so long and I had to take a photo as soon as I spotted it. The watch is amazing too, right?

5 & 6. Carly Hunter
Hannah got this shearling vest in the natural colourway last year and I was so happy to see it make a comeback in black (I might have to get this!) It also came in a beautiful coat. The basic singlet came in a white and black silk or black velvet. I love the cut of this, it reminds me of an Alexander Wang tank I bought from the first T collection, high neck and low cut sides, very Hedi Slimane. 

7 & 8. Deadly Ponies
I love these wallet trios, how cute is the little baby one? 

9. Secret Squirrel
I loved the simplicity of this collection. Favourites were the tapered trousers and matching blazers with silk shirts and lovely knitwear. They did this great silk tee in a few different colours which I think would be a go-to layering piece in winter.

It looks like my winter wishlist is well on its way...
