Eden Hore, a central Otago farmer, isn't your first pick for a person who owns a collection of some of the most highly coveted pieces of 70s and 80s New Zealand womens fashion. However, he owned just that. His collection, now owned by the Central Otago District Council has recently been taken out of its boxes to be photographed, hinting at an exhibition in the future. We were intrigued to hear about Eden Hore and his collection and wanted to know more.
This year the theme for the WOW window displays was kowhai/yellow. Check out our display made from mostly donated wire hangars and recycled patterns from our workroom.
Our current collection is about celebrating the bohemian spirit and all the forms it takes, focusing on the trailblazers who had a desire to change things and make their own way in the world.
Throughout the season I’ll be sharing some women in history who embody the bohemian attitudes and who inspired me. Today I wanted to share Virginia Woolf, who explored difficult and complex themes in her writing and was an inspiring and empowered woman.

There are three body measurement points that you need to know to ensure a great fit – bust, waist, and hips.
When taking your body measurements, wear the undergarments you normally wear for the most accurate results. Use a flexible tape measure, or a piece of string and ruler, and hold it around each body point so it is comfortably snug. If the tape is cutting into your flesh, it is too tight.
To ensure an accurate measurement around your body, keep the measuring tape as level as possible from front to back. We recommend measuring yourself in front of a mirror so you can check this from a side view. If you can, get a friend to help you to ensure the most accurate measurements.
Bust: Wrap the measuring tape around your back and where the tape meets across the fullest point of your bust is your bust measurement.
Waist: Wrap the measuring tape around your natural waist, the slimmest part of your torso, pulling the ends to the front. Where they meet is your waist measurement.
Hips: Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your bottom – this is usually low down towards your thighs. As with your bust and waist measurements, where the tape meets is your hip measurement.
Length: To measure the length of individual garments against your body it is best to measure down the centre of your back. To do this, start the measuring tape at either the base of your neck for dresses and tops, or at your waist for skirts. Measure down your body to the measurement listed in the garment description. This will show you where the garment comes to on you. When you are measuring for length, remember to make sure you are standing completely upright – it is best to have someone help you with this. Alternatively, compare the measurement with the length of a garment you already have.
