The story of early New Zealand fashion Before there
were fashion retail outlets in New Zealand, and long before quick and easy
internet online fashion shopping, most New Zealanders wore home sewn clothes.
If you were lucky and you could sew or knew someone who could, you could be not
only presentable but also fashionable. Many others had no option but to
make their own clothes, with mixed results. An upcoming exhibition by the
Fashion Museum has delved into the wardrobes and bottom drawers of some of
those early home sewers. This week in The Arts on Sunday, Lynn Freeman speaks
to one of the organisers Doris du Pont, and to one of the contributors, Rosey
Thomas.

discussion document looking at the pros and cons of immunity from seizure
legislation. Dr Claudia Orange from Te Papa shares her views on whether such a
law would make it easier for our museums, art galleries and universities to
borrow some artworks and artefacts from overseas institutions.
