Tentside chat with: Carly Kirkwood

Carly Kirkwood

What shows are you going to today?

I went to RJC this morning and I'll be going to Trelise Cooper later on.

How about the rest of the week?

I'd quite like to go to Hailwood later in the week and Workshop and Kate Sylvester…I'd love to go to all the shows! But I can't obviously as I'm working at night.

Favourite NZ designers?

Definitely Karen Walker and Workshop. I also love Sabine - and although she's Australian, Alannah Hill.

What are you wearing today?

Actually, an Alannah Hill top!

What's on your shopping list for summer?

Lots of girly stuff, lots of florals. I need lots of pretty skirts. I'd like some long black shorts and singlets in nice bright colours. Wedge sandals are also on the list.

Whose fashion style inspires you?

Although everyone lists her - Kate Moss. You can't go wrong with jeans, boots and slinky tops.

Do you have a personal style concept?

I wouldn't really know! I'm lucky that I have a stylist (sitting next to her) who helps me pick things to wear every night. I guess I'm developing more of a personal style as I go. At the moment, I'm enjoying wearing beautiful singlets under a jacket for work.
