“Upon receiving my favourite number 13 from the hat I knew whatever was in the bag was meant for me. Resene Pursuit is a ‘racy combustible orange’. I was beyond happy as it is such a gorgeous name. The name instantly made me think of the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” and the colour drew me to think of gerberas. Ideas quickly started coming to me with the theme of ‘new beginnings’.

I found lockdown a great time to relax at home and enjoy a slow pace of life, equally it allowed me to expand my passionate energy for creativity but my bubbly personality struggled with not having the energy from my friends.

For us coming out of lockdown but going into winter has brought a new shift of happiness that doesn’t often pair with wet, windy and wintry days. This reminds me of the joy you feel when plants start to blossom in spring, new beginnings.

This outfit is for a bold determined women, who holds herself with pride and knows what she wants. Pursuit – “the action of the eye following a movie object” brings the perfect balance of racy, strong lines and gentle feminine float, with asymmetry representing the petals falling from a flower going into seed to then bloom high and strong.”
