95bFM: Fashun

Penelope Noir caught Hansel & Gretel by the Royal New Zealand Ballet, so it seemed only fitting to talk about tutu's. Pennie takes us through the history of this elegant piece of costuming.

Penelope Noir is here bright and early this Monday morning to teach us about some of the more sustainable fabrics we can drape ourselves with. Teaching us about Lyocell, a fibre made from wood, that replicates silk. Wowee, pretty gorgeous.

We're talking iconic fashion moments by Bob Mackie this morning. Penelope Noir takes us through some of the most memorable costumes worn by Marilyn Monroe and Cher. 

Penelope's got a contentious topic this week, atheleisure. The sports gear you wear outside the gym. Yay or nay?

Penelope Noir brings us a history lesson on rubber and latex this morning. Perhaps an invention that we all take for granted? Very useful indeed.

Penelope returns with tales from Paris Fashion Week, from crashing the catwalk to models protesting on the runway, Pennie gives us the lowdown on what actually went down this year.

Getting excited for Laneway? Us too. Rachel plays us one of her picks from the Laneway 2020 line-up, all the way from Dublin, Fontaines D.C.

Penelope Noir comes to us with the history of the pocket, this morning. A symbol of sexism over the decades, or merely a handy place to put your snacks?

Penelope Noir is back after a big week for Fashun in Aotearoa. Pennie recaps on fashion week this year, some highlights, some exciting music collaborations and some berets. 

Kate Sylvester pops into studio, ahead of her show tonight, to kick off NZFW. Rachel and Kate chat about sustainable fashion, the effects of fast fashion, her new Reloved initiative and what's changed since Kate entered the fashion world in Aotearoa.
