Twenty-Seven NamesSince its creation in 2006, directional label twenty-seven names has inspired a cult-like following. With art and fashion degree backgrounds respectively, designers Rachel Easting and Anjali Stewart cite contemporary art as the basis for their collections. Their label is ever-migrating and can be found nationwide in New Zealand as well as in stores across Australia, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. The summer 2010 collection, Twelve, draws on contemporary female artists who discuss the ferocious optimism of that 60s and recognise that while the battle isn’t over, it hasn’t been lost. Like protesters half a century ago, artists like Jenny Holzer state that even today, words tend to be inadequate. Using delicate fabrics, considered detail, and masculine cuts, this summer’s collection insists that the ethos of the 60s, where power through protest was an everyday expectation, should not be forgotten.
