Race season is nigh, and 23-year-old Auckland creative Olivia Moor is preparing for a trip to Melbourne, to compete in the Myer Fashions on the Field competition at the Melbourne Cup. It all feels sufficently sparkly when you then consider her day-to-day antics. A jewellery designer at Naveya & Sloane, Moor plays with diamonds daily, and sketches ideas for engagement rings in the relaxed way that others might organise their inbox.
Moor, this year's winner of the Ellerslie Prix de Fashion Derby Day competition, now lives at home with her mother and sister Charlotte in St Johns after a stint living with two fellow creatives in Kingsland. She is forever pushing her own personal art projects. If you probed further, she'd probably list Ellen Rogers as her all-time favourite photographer, or the design aesthetic of Stefan Sagmeister and MM Paris. And if asked nicely, a showing of her extensive Kewpie doll collection will follow.
