Kathleen Sorbara’s taste in clothing is somewhere between eighties Armani and 2000’s worn-in double RL boyfriend jeans. It’s comfortable, but it’s also true to her character, which when you put the two together, results in a sexy kind of confidence that’s palpable even over the phone.
Having her start as a child model and working in that capacity until starting Chickees, Sorbara knows both sides of this world well, and only chose to leave modeling behind when she realized she wanted to work for herself, dress for herself, and make a name for herself by projecting her unique taste and sensibilities through clothes.
Luckily, the vintage industry continues to evolve as more people find themselves longing for less generic clothes, and Sorbara’s baby, Chickees Vintage, continues to do well in its fourth year of operation and most recently welcomed a brother last fall. Her first store continues to focus on womenswear while her second has curated a rather similar selection, but for men.

To Sorbara, one of the most interesting and time-consuming parts of fashion lies in how different menswear and womenswear have been in the past, and differentiating between the two markets is a full-time job. What’s the masculine equivalent of Joan & David and what was comparable to Ann Taylor or DKNY in the nineties?

Super talented stylist-turned-photographer Thistle Browne and stylist Heathermary Jackson — both in New Zealand during COVID-19 lockdowns — traveled to Rangitoto Island, a dormant volcano off the coast of Central Auckland, to shoot the new campaign for New Zealand jewelry designer Jasmin Sparrow. The shoot showcases Sparrow’s timeless gold and silver jewelry, and a beautiful collection of hand-beaded bras and skull caps designed with Glen Prentice. Models wore mainly vintage from Search and Destroy and Brownstone Cowboys’ collection, combined with some local, sustainable brands and New Zealand gumboots (rainboots).
