Overview

Items relating to the creation, marketing and distribution/sale of the fashion collection. The following text is drawn from items in the file: The objective of the Starfish 2002 Winter collection is to bring finery, beauty and romanticism into the realness of that which is Starfish clothing. With this in mind, we designed the garments from a modern ballad about the value of love. This collection has been designed to create a feeling of regality and beauty in the wearer, providing an elevation in being within their everyday world. The collection is crafted from cloths of wool, sateen and lycra mixed wovens, as these provide the essential wearability of winter clothing. These fabrics also form a base that allows us to apply our key ingredient, satin, which graces the collection with a feeling of opulence and luxury.

The collection includes: Pavalion Top and Pant, Wolfgang Knit, Regal Jacket and Shawl and Top, Dandy Top, Vanguard Jacket and Pant, Courtier Skirt, Gentry Shirt and Pant, Viola Blouse, Butterfly Top, Parisian Boucle, Paris Pant and Poly, Old Guard Jacket, Regency Vest and Skirt, Provincial Cardy and Skirt, Peasant Pant, Bougeious Blouse and Top, Banquet Bodice and Pant. Favourites: Highlander, Dexter, Waterford, Hibernation, Predator, Mahana, Untamed Tee, Shoulderless, Starfish Polarfleece, How Cross Cami, Stirling Pant, Industry Pant, Steinway Cord, Crystal Palace, Te Aro and Pant.
