Hera Couture on Karanghape Road
New styles, old neighbourhood
Hera Couture has been part of the Karangahape Rd community for 10 years, so we thought it was about time we celebrated where we live! Kârd (as it is affectionately called by Kiwis) is one of New Zealandâs most iconic streets. It started as Aucklandâs main shopping area from the 1900âs and evolved into our most well known red light district by the 1970âs. Today, it is home to diverse communities and eclectic businesses.
Influenced by the heritage buildings and quirky characters of Kârd, it was the perfect backdrop to showcase Katieâs newest designs. While shooting, our models were congratulated on their big day from rooftops and barstools and we were even caught in the middle of a silent disco. It is this youthful and playful feel Katie wanted to capture: the happy couple taking time out in the city and being part of this crazy life – because the world goes on even when weâre getting married!
 Luc was groomed by the experts at Colleen before heading up to the Hereford Residenceâs penthouse apartment – with its spectacular views and chic surroundings. We then wandered the streets, explored alleys and climbed to the roof of carparks.
On the way we stopped at Forte Green for lunch (the best toasties EVER), called into St Kevinâs Arcade for a touch of shopping, and finished the evening with a glass of bubbles at Love Bucket Bar. We canât thank Laura enough for choosing the perfect music and creating such a warm atmosphere. Itâs definitely our new fave!
Wheeling gown racks through roadworks and up hills had its challenges but we couldnât be happier with the beautiful, spirited shots we captured on our day out on Karangahape Rd. The history of the area combined with its touch of unconventional, perfectly encapsulates the vision of Hera Couture.
