DESIGNER INFORMATION: With a bold spirit and a sharp eye for individuality, Isabel Haworth carved her place in New Zealand’s boutique fashion history when she opened Hadny 5 in 1964. Swapping mass production for one-off artistry, Isabel's silk dresses and hand-finished pieces offered wearers something rare: total exclusivity. Originally from Te Awamutu, she trained in Sydney before returning to New Zealand to pursue her own vision in creating striking, handcrafted garments from her lively Swanson Street boutique. With a flair for the romantic and an instinct for originality, Isabel’s work defined a new era of fashion for independent, style-conscious women of the 1960s and beyond.
