INDUSTRY WORDS
Sarah Gooding // ID Magazine
Presently, at the bottom of the world, New Zealand musicians and designers such as Liam, Stolen Girlfriends Club and Serena Fagence are teaming up to create looks that leave lasting impressions.
Designer and stylist Serena Fagence has a similar creative connection with Auckland band Broods. She has helped the duo create their stark, often-monochromatic style since they broke through last year. "It's a collaborative effort," Serena says of the looks she designs and constructs. "Their aesthetic works with my design ethos."
This partnership incorporates Broods' vision as much as Serena's, and spans everything from the band's album cover to videos for their hit singles and press photos. On their Australian tour last year, singer Georgia wore a shimmering silver and white silk kimono, custom made by Serena. Strong style marries all of Broods' output, and it's largely due to Serena's efforts.
Garth Badger // Thievery
I've worked with Serena on several fashion projects both as stills and moving image. Her ability to see something other than the normal and courage to try something different stand her apart from others in the industry.
Few stylists in New Zealand can match her level of both creativity and technical skills.
Faye McNeil // MoFresh Video Productions and Director
Serena understood the brief completely and delivered above and beyond what I asked of her.
She is a pleasure to have on set - focused, calm and always one step ahead.
Rebecca Jennings // Assistant Costume Designer Shortland Street
Serena was a pleasure to work with for the short time she was with us.
I found her to be extremely professional & hard-working considering the amount of pressure she was under.
I wish her all the best in her next endeavour.
