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.

History: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiseries means a Western or, European interpretation of an Asian style and may not necessarily be of an actual Asian design. Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from many Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!
