Wheel Stylish: the Cycle Chic Fashion Show

Fab­u­lous fash­ion + beau­ti­ful bikes + Welling­ton women = Wheel Styl­ish!

Bikes are back baby (not like they actu­al­ly went any­where) and there is *such* a range of cycling expe­ri­ences to be had.  You’ve got your hip­ster fix­ie rid­er, your lycra-clad fit freak, your sen­si­bly attired pub­lic ser­vant with the back­pack who did not get the ‘Gov3 dis­con­tin­ued’ memo.  Accord­ing to some wags it is even a mod­ern symp­tom of male mid-life cri­sis.

But what are the fash­ion­ably attired to do? Those that do not thrill at the idea of a bat­tle against the ele­ments for its own sake, those that pre­fer to glide or cruise.

Wheel Styl­ish is here to demon­strate that fine attire is no bar­ri­er to gadding about on your bike.  Love­ly ladies will be mod­el­ing local threads astride bikes from Mamachari and R&R Sport, because noth­ing makes one feel more lady-like than a bas­ket full of pro­duce up front (many a Euro­pean and Japan­ese gen­tle­man have been know to sport one too).

Come along on Sat­ur­day to see how local fash­ion hous­es Starfish, Kow­Tow, Voon, de Nada, Emma and Hunters & Col­lec­tors do “cycle wear”.

Lisa Tom­lins will be the charm­ing and frocked up MC for the after­noon and there will be wine and refresh­ments on offer in the Atri­um.

It’s free as a bird, but num­bers are lim­it­ed.

Join the city cruise ride to Wheel Styl­ish, start­ing from ‘Solace In the Wind’ (the lean­ing man sculp­ture by Te Papa) at 2pm, or you can come straight to the venue for 2.30.
On wheels or on foot… Be there!
