After 31 great years Wayne Conway and Kate Sylvester have decided that it is time to bow out. We will sell our final-ever Summer 24 collection, business-as-usual, and will wind our business up in mid 2025. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved. Thank you to our customers for embracing our vision and making us the iconic NZ brand we have become. It has been our honour and privilege to create clothes worn and loved by multiple generations of women both everyday and for the most important moments in their lives. We have created epoch-defining, memorable shows, campaigns and collections...

‘I want to sit in the back of Max’s Kansas City drinking Martinis with Gloria & Gloria. Their best buddies Joyce Carol Oates & Dorothy Pitman Hughes would join us – we’d be so witty and ballsy and brainy – we’d be our very own superstars & Andy would be jealous.’ Drawing inspiration from two iconic Gloria’s, Kate Sylvester’s Autumn Winter 24 collection Gloria Gloria imagines an unlikely friendship between artist, designer and socialite Gloria Vanderbilt and feminist activist and journalist, Gloria Steinem. The collection evokes an independent spirit, bringing together two women who epitomize all the glorious, gritty glamour...

Tell us about yourself, what you do and what inspires you?

I’m a musician and songwriter from Auckland. I moved to London at 16 and started my music career up over there before moving back here end of 2022. I write mostly about everything that’s happened in that time. I’m inspired by my friendships and relationships. Having such a turbulent lifestyle makes you realise that if you just have one or two solid people around you can get through a lot.

Pairing the unexpected and effortless, contemporary and classic, KS and Mi Piaci have come together to create a sophisticated and uplifting capsule footwear collection. Watch Kate and Ellie Mills, Design Lead at Mi Piaci, discuss the inspiration behind this exciting collaboration.
