deborahsweeney

is a high end, youth oriented brand. Her clever designs are a feminine,
eclectic and colourful mix of casual and tailored silhouettes. Pieces are infinitely wearable
with extra special attention to detail and quality.

Deborah returned to New Zealand to establish her label in 2002, after working for Jill
Stuart in New York and designing for High St stores such as Top shop and H&M in London.
She completed a Fashion Diploma at Massey University, Wellington in 1991 and also studied
accessories at the London Royal College of Fashion in 2000.
