I grew up with Swanndri and the opportunity to take an icon that is ubiquitous to the New Zealand cultural landscape and celebrate and interpret it creatively, was what appealed to me most about the challenge,” says John Reynolds.
The Swanndri by Karen Walker spring summer range is the second from the design partnership between Swanndri and Karen Walker and follows the huge success of the winter range that was introduced to the market in March.
Swanndri has always been such an integral part of the New Zealand lifestyle and so it made perfect sense to develop it beyond a largely winter brand and broaden its seasonal appeal.
