Overview
This dress and coat ensemble was made by Society Fashions, an Auckland-based manufacturing firm established by Bill Hall and Maurice Mihotich in 1962. Mihotich left Society a year later to establish his own label, Miss Deb. Bill, and his wife Robyn, continued to develop Society, later rebranding the company High Society.
High Society continues to operate today, and produces a range of labels including Catalyst, Obi and Chocolat.
