We asked designer Cybele Wiren a few questions about her current collection that was shown at the NZ Fashion Weekend recently and her new exciting Auckland stockist…

Your collection for SS2013/14 is called…

Levitas

What particularly inspired you this season?

The idea of lightness, transparent texiles, the ancient art of folded Japanese paper lanterns and x-rays of flowers.

What is your favourite thing about this collection?

The fact it is now stocked at Children of Vision is pretty exciting!

The best thing about showing at New Zealand Fashion Weekend was…

the whole exciting vibe of the show – we had a great response!  I also loved working with the designers from Nyne, Company of Strangers and Kowtow.  It has been a while since we did a group show and this one was a really fun line-up.

What pieces will you be wearing yourself?

I’m already thrashing the Eidolon dress in a couple of colours and incarnations, the Notion pant for casual weekends and I can’t wait to get my hands on the Levitas Dome coat in Black, and the Vapor print pieces.
