Annah Stretton

Fashion Design
Designer in Residence
Guest Lecturer

Personal Statement

"Knowing how to make a dress does not automatically give you the skills and knowledge necessary to take it to the market place."

Annah brings to her role as guest lecturer for 2008 a raft of qualifications and accolades. She is quick to clarify that she is not in the fashion business but in the business of fashion. "My focus has always to grow my business and continue to make a profit!"

With 32 stores throughout New Zealand and over 150 accounts throughout the world there is no doubt that Annah has kept her business focus. It would be wrong however, to assume that she has not developed her fashion styling as the business has grown. With her collections regularly showing at both New Zealand and Australian Fashion Weeks, Annah's designer mantel fits very comfortably. She is very excited to be able to share her knowledge with students who may well become industry leaders in the future. "I look forward to delivering a course heavy in reality and practical experiences."
