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!
