Top New Zealand stylist Angela Stone will stage a major fashion event at the Stella Artois international polo match in Christchurch on January 23 and 24.
Stone, who runs the major fashion events during Christchurch’s Cup Week in November, will also announce the best dressed woman at the polo cocktail party and charity auction for the Catwalk Trust on Saturday night.
South Island Polo Association spokesman Roddy Wood said the trust was set up after a riding accident left Catriona Williams a tetraplegic.
“Initially the group planned to fundraise for Williams herself – but the bigger picture quickly became clear and soon Catwalk trust was born. It’s just great that Angela has come on board with her fashion show which will make this a really top event.”
The feature polo event on January 24 will be an Australian invitational team up against a South Island representative team.
Stone said the fashion presentation show – including models – would also include her tips on what to wear heading into winter 2010. She will tell women how to look chic this year, how to dress for their decade and offer tips on the latest looks in layering and style.
“We hope this is going to be a major event on the New Zealand event calendar. I think combining fashion with a sports fixture is a brilliant fit,” Stone said.
The Christchurch style expert and model stages most of the major fashion events in the city including the big ticket events at Addington and Riccarton Cup days.
