Jan 21, 2016 Fashion
To celebrate our favourite-by-miles time of year, we asked three leading — and very different — fashion houses to create images that capture the beauty of Auckland when the sun’s out. Shot exclusively for Metro, here are the results.

One day I had the fleeting thought
I could give myself over
to rising and falling
in all its tempos and variations.
The next day I had the fleeting
thought that rising and falling
was what I was after,
what I had been waiting for and
swimming in all the way along.

On the fourth day I came home
with an armful of clouds
and they were good for me.The sea the next day had a dirty edge. Even so further out a brilliant colour was coming back into its massive body.
On the sixth day I saw the horizon and on it the softened peaks of a land that cannot be named.
