Summer Learning Journey | Day:4 | Arty Designers | Activity:1 | Week:4 | Fashion Forward | (4 Points)

Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer from the early 1900s. She was very influential
because she designed clothes for women that were beautiful, but also comfortable and practical.
Before Coco came along, European women wore corsets which pulled in their waists, and
dresses that had lots of lace. Coco Chanel introduced a completely new style, influenced by
men’s fashion - trousers (pants), monochrome (black and white) fabric, and looser tops.
Twenty Seven Names is a contemporary (current) New Zealand fashion label that is also
influential. The founders of the company are two friends, Rachel Easting and Anjali Burnett.
Rachel and Anjali met when they were at primary school. When they left school, Anjali studied
fashion design and Rachel studied art, before they set up their own business designing and
making clothing. Where possible they employ young women and they keep as much of their
production (making) in New Zealand as possible.

My Work⬇️
How they got their name:After studying art and fashion respectively the pair began working on
small scale projects before launching their brand 'twenty-seven names'. The label name is a
homage to the list of 27 people who helped to get their label off the ground.


What I think about the name: I think there name is great they should leave it because it's smart
how they had made up the great name.

  1. Did you know Kamaea that Rachel Easting and Anjali Burnett met at primary school. After studying art and fashion respectively the pair began working on small scale projects before launching their brand 'twenty-seven names'. The label name is a homage to the list of 27 people who helped to get their label off the ground. Can you see yourself going into business with someone you are at school with at SPX?

  2. Kia ora Kamaea!

    Have you checked out their website? What do you think of the designs of their clothing? I personally love how the outfits look as they give me vintage vibes and that's my kind of aesthetic.

    Kind regards,
    Riiana
