PIA BOUTIQUE

If you haven't already heard of PIA Boutique then you're in for a treat. Just last week they were was part of the Miromoda Showcase at New Zealand Fashion week. You can view the highlights here. They delivered a vibrant show full of beautiful garments, and a live performance by singer Esther Stephens. I'm very excited for the new S/S 2014 collection to be released!

Designer and founder Pia Naera has come a long way in just a couple of years. Initially the brand started after her final project of her Graphic Design degree. Her work explored the relationship between graphic design & fashion, and so began her trademark printed frocks. She had so many requests for the uniquely designed dresses that she got straight to work to fulfil the growing demand. There was totally a niche in the NZ market for fresh and vibrant designs that were bold in colour & print yet soft in fabric & form with a feminine edge.

Pia is also a wedding photographer along with her beau Jonny who together form J&P Photography. They take such beautiful pictures, all light and dreamy. As if this girl couldn't get any more talented!

Be sure to keep an eye on this fashion label which crafts all it's garments to a high quality right here in NZ. You can keep updated by following the PIA Boutique Facebook page. They also have a darling little store in Parnell right next to the Chocolate Boutique on the main street. Well worth a visit if you're ever in the area!
