about
after completing a bachelor of design (textiles) degree in wellington
2001, juliette spent time working for chris and helen cherry as their
design assistant. She then went on to win the karen walker/steinlager
‘dare to be’ scholarship: her prize was to complete a senior year at
parsons school of design, new school university, new york, arguably one
of the world’s top two fashion design schools. while in new york,
juliette completed an internship with rebecca tailor’s design team.
in 2004 juliette established her own label, making 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, making it able 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.
2007 saw juliette open her flagship store on ponsonby road in auckland.
18 months later the label continues from strength to strength, with juliette
showing for the 3rd consecutive time at air new zealand fashion week
with a show that was dubbed her best yet with rave reviews. |
