Kuputuhi e Wātea Tūmatanui ana
‘Perfection. Simple. Understated. Utterly wearable.’ These words, a response typical of many fashion writers when describing Knuckey’s designs, are more that suitable to describe this stylish dress for younger women. In the 1960s the influence of British popular culture was extensive. One of the most important fashion trends of this movement was the invention of the mini - skirt.

E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki. I ētahi wā, kāore anō kia whakaūhia ngā pūkete e ngā kaimahi o Te Whare Taonga, tēnā pea he hapa kei roto i ngā kōrero.
