NVAH
Formed in the summer of 2006 by Jeremy Maclaurin and Marti Chapman, NVAH has quickly become a well recognised name in both the national and international fashion scene. Know for their graphic based prints and subtly branded pieces, the NVAH collection is a fresh new look for both guys and girls.
For Marti and Jeremy, the aim with NVAH was to create a range that was less focused on branding and more about utilising bold graphic design. Both from design backgrounds, Jeremy a landscape designer and Marti a graphic designer, the pair's foray into the fashion industry began with the manufacture of a line of t-shirts for the Gisborne festival 'Rhythm and Vines'. Now, four years on, Marti and Jeremy are rubbing shoulders with New Zealand's finest fashion labels.
After success early on, with their garments being well received by the public, NVAH can now be found gracing the shelves of stores throughout New Zealand from Whangerei to Queenstown, and throughout Australia. NVAH offers both a 'Basics' and 'Fashion Forward' range, the latter placing an emphasis on fashion garments aimed at New Zealand and Australian street boutiques. The NVAH team are currently focused on building their exports, working with Australian markets and looking to move into Japan, USA and Europe in the future.
Jeremy Maclaurin and Marti Chapman draw inspiration from everywhere. They embrace current fads and trends, while ensuring that their NVAH collection still exhibits their own personal style. The pair are passionate about the fashion industry and share a common goal of having their own show at this year's New Zealand Fashion Week.
