MAX GIMBLETT - MARTIN POPPELWELL - WORKSHOP Workshop’s latest artist collaboration was launched on Thursday 16 March at the label’s flagship Ponsonby store to a packed crowd of friends, media and industry insiders from both the art and fashion worlds. Long-time Workshop partners Max Gimblett and Martin Poppelwell collaborated together for the first time specifically for this project. The works were created over four days at Poppelwell’s studios on Bluff Hill, Napier, from which elements have been translated onto limited edition Workshop garments. F PN CONTINUED P48
