The Luxury Network New Zealand in collaboration with CBRE and RJB Design invited members and guests to an evening of Dress & Design.

Auckland’s harbour and twinkling city lights was the perfect backdrop for guests to enjoy the spectacular views from CBRE’s stunning show suite, The Pacifica. The Pacifica will create a vertical community that will dominate the Auckland Skyline and elevate apartment living as described by Gavin Lloyd, National Director at CBRE.

Guests enjoyed a range of wines from Akarua, whilst listening to New Zealand top designer Adrian Hailwood decipher the event dress code for women at a Formal, Cocktail and Black-Tie event.

We learnt that it is never ok to wear white high heels, as that is in his view one of fashions biggest faux pas.

Ronald from RJB Design followed with advice for the gentlemen on how to dress to ensure you compliment the lady on your arm – his advice – “you can never be over dressed for an occasion” and every man should own a black dinner suit as it is not appropriate to wear a business suit to a night time event.

The evening concluded with 4 lucky guests winning prizes from The Luxury Network Members Akarua, RJB Design and Montblanc. Adrian also donated backstage passes to his NZ Fashion Week show.
