Bringing a lot of love into her handmade clothing, the new Mylarke collection by Auckland-based designer Amy Clarke is vintage-cool and wearable.
The 'Tough Love' Mylarke collection is a first, but Clarke is a super successful independent designer in New Zealand, and is known for her contemporary creations that are artsy, comfy and made using the highest standards of craftsmanship and creativity -- not to mention very, very hipster.
"Tough Love is about the harmony between being feminine, fashion-loving, girly, soft, big-hearted, vulnerable and also being tough, tomboy, independent, strong-willed and individual," says the designer about her brand new collection.
Her 'Tough Love' range merges the best of both worlds to create a stunning collection.
