How to recognise their work: Passionate about fabrics, Findlay creates designs for the label's womenswear that feature a play on textural contrasts, dynamic layering and innovative construction. Johnson, on the other hand, displays a disciplined approach towards their menswear with well-cut, wearable garments and clever detailing.

The Zambesi customer: The daring individual who is confident in her sense of style.

Brand philosophy: "Made in New Zealand with our feet on the ground and our head in the clouds."
