NZFW 10: Juliette Hogan
Juliette Hogan at NZ Fashion Week 2010
After completing a Bachelor of Design (Textiles) with Honours in 2001, Juliette worked for Chris and Helen Cherry as their pattern and design assistant.
After winning the Karen Walker/Steinlager 'Dare to Be' scholarship, Juliette’s prize enabled her to complete her senior year at Parsons School of Design, New School University in New York - one of the world's top two fashion design schools.
While in New York, Juliette completed an internship with Rebecca Taylor's design team.
In 2004, Juliette established her own label where she made waves instantly with her ability to blur the line between classic femininity and contemporary fashion. Her clean, minimalist approach to tailoring, along with her careful selection of textiles, textures and colourations, make for functional yet beautiful garments. Each piece is modern yet shrouded in a timeless quality, enabling it to surpass the seasons.
Above all, Juliette's collections are sensitive to simplicity of form and are infinitely practical. Her dedication to quality, style and femininity and her coolly sophisticated design sense ensure that her collections will continue to be anticipated and celebrated with each new season. Her collection was once described as 'quietly sophisticated clothes that well mannered girls want to wear' – and that's Juliette Hogan to a tee.
