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
