Kiwi’s fashion design fit for UK’s new first lady

New Zealand designer Emilia Wickstead produced a wardrobe for Britain’s new first lady.

Auckland-born Wickstead, 27, designed the navy blue dress worn by Samantha Cameron, wife of newly-elected Prime Minister David Cameron, at their first photo chance at 10 Downing Street.

A previous recipient of a $10,000 Arts Foundation donation, Wickstead told the foundation she was eager to have her clothes in the public eye.

Wickstead moved to Milan as a youngster and went on to study at London’s prestigious Central St Martin’s college.

She had previously worked for fashion designers including Giorgio Armani, Luella, Proenza Schouler and Narciso Rodriquez, and her clothes have emerged in British Vogue and Tatler.
