we pause for some pretty

It’s Acad­e­my Award day in LA and we know the answer to the fash­ion ques­tion of the day “what are you wear­ing?” for two Welling­to­ni­ans, Jana Bar­rett and Jen­nifer Bloom­field. The answer  = Voon.

Jana’s hus­band, Weta Dig­i­tal’s Daniel Bar­rett (who will be wear­ing a Meri­no wool tuxe­do), was the Ani­ma­tion Super­vi­sor and Jen­nifer­’s hus­band R.Christopher White was a Visu­al Effects Super­vi­sor for Rise of the Plan­et of the Apes. This is the first Acad­e­my Award nom­i­na­tion for them both.

Sophie Voon’s been the go to design­er for wed­ding and par­ty dress­es in Welling­ton for a long time, but this is her first time design­ing dress­es for the Oscars.  Stay tuned to the Welling­ton­ista for a wee shop vis­it to her new bridal shop
