with Jemima Janney [Ap
2004–2006] an intern with r & b in New York.
j: As a girl at Wellington it used to irritate us,
from a fashion point of view, that all the boys
would wear flip flops, short shorts and a hoodie.
Every day. What was the fashion like when you
were there and did you conform to these trends
or set them ?
m: I was a turf hero, I remember that. I
used to played frisbee on turf with no top on.
j: Did you wear the short shorts ?
m: I never ever wore them. My legs are
too long. I didnt play rugby either. I did start
my trainer obsession at school though and I
bought my first pair of Jordan’s at 17.
d: Fashion at Wellington in the 90s meant
a lot of Levi 501s and a lot of Ralph Lauren
polo shirts. I think it was because of all the
sports, you just ended up hanging out in
sports clothes as casual wear.
