taylor has announced its annual Merino Week capsule collection is arriving just in time for the colder months.
As part of taylor’s winter 2014 collection Fragment, the Merino Week collection is inspired by the subconscious, where irregularity, misconception and misplacement challenge our reality.
This season’s collection is characterised by the intentional fragmentation, distortion and dislocation of elements.
These extremely limited edition pieces will be revealed at a special Wellington Fashion Week pre-show event at taylor’s Old Bank Arcade store in Wellington on Thursday 10 April.
The pre-show will feature a beautiful live model installation showcasing the Merino Week collection, plus drinks, nibbles and a few very exciting surprises for the guests. The Wellington event is open to the public.

The Merino Week capsule collection will then be available in all other taylor stores (Newmarket, Ponsonby and Britomart) from Saturday 12 April.
As with the rest of taylor’s Fragment collection, the Merino Week capsule collection contrasts hard against soft, structure against fluidity.
The collection plays with dimensions, lengths, cuts and a hint of drapery. Softer elements appear composed and sculpted while rigid shapes are elongated and subjected to textural plays.
‘Fragment’ uses calm monochrome tones with an emphasis on natural textures. The cuts are kept clean and simple – feminine with boyish references.

The muted colour palette is comprised of a selection of deep blacks, darkened tones and crisp whites, freshened by a subtle infusion of powder pink and shades of violet and plum.
As with all taylor’s collections, each piece in ‘Fragment’ underlines a desire for personal expression, wearability and lasting elegant composure.
