Introducing the stunning new season collection from Ziera.

Hello and welcome to another chic Ziera season – and a new edition of our magazine filled with inspiration for your most stylish and successful year yet. The new Autumn/Winter collection from Ziera has designs for every occasion. Whether you’re working, walking or just enjoying the weekend, you’ll be able to go places knowing you look and feel fabulous. This season our design team have been working overtime to create trends for everyone. From glittering metallics and animal-inspired textured leathers, to glamorous shiny patents and rich natural colours; the options are endless. No winter wardrobe is complete without a new pair of boots, and this year the ankle version is really shining thanks to its versatility. Those who prefer a classic look will love Stanford, while women wanting to make a style statement will be drawn to Toledo and Omega. There are also more flats on offer than ever before; brogues, ballet flats, loafers and dress sneakers all feature for the new season, and some clever design twists take these much-loved styles to the next level. If it’s heels you’re after, you’ll fall in love with the sass and sophistication of Fedora and Envy – the perfect shoes for when you want to take on the world. At Ziera we know what’s important, and our company is built around the values of empowering and supporting women. We want to help each and every one of you to achieve the extraordinary every day, which is why we’ve launched Be Unstoppable – a campaign that celebrates the spirit and achievements of women. We’re on the search for unstoppable women. Maybe that’s your friend, your mother, your sister, your neighbour or your work colleague. Maybe, that’s you. We’re looking for women who are doing great things and empowering others through their work, their beliefs, their interests or their families. You can nominate a woman you know to Be Unstoppable by filling in a nomination form on our website, www.zierashoes.com Or visit our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Zierashoes, tag a friend, and tell us why she’s unstoppable. Each nominee is in to win $2500 to put towards their Be Unstoppable dream, as well as five pairs of Ziera shoes. And just for nominating someone you could win one of 100 pairs of shoes!

It was with this research that they created the company’s first range in 1944.

This dedication to our customers is what has seen Ziera grow to the point we now have 50 stores on both sides of the Tasman, and stockists from Singapore to Stratford-uponAvon, as well as online sales. But we haven’t forgotten where we came from. “We’re a pretty down-to-earth company,” reveals Andrew. “We’ve always stuck to our core proposition – comfort. If we didn’t have that at our core and were just a mere fashion brand I think it would be a lot more difficult.” And shoppers just keep coming back for more. With a brand loyalty that is the envy of our competitors, we regularly hear from women who have purchased more than a dozen pairs of Ziera shoes over a number of years. And thanks to the durability, often they’re still wearing them all! As to the future, we are focussed on evolving further, with plenty of exciting products in the pipelie. But we’ll never forget that our business is all about you. “We are really determined to make sure every shoe delivers on comfort – and actually helps women to feel good,” says Andrew.

It’s a daily dilemma – what to wear to work that makes you feel great and look even better? We spoke to two Ziera customers to find out how they do it.

Sara Bunny

JOURNALIST On any given day Sara could be asked to interview a pop star or a politician, so it’s important she’s always dressed to impress. “I need to look the part – and when I do it makes me feel more confident,” says the 34-year-old. Describing her wardrobe as “a mix of classics with a few on-trend pieces”, she has several stand-out favourites which she wears on regular rotation, changing them up with neutral staples and accessories. While Sara loves a bargain, when it comes to her shoes she won’t compromise on quality – especially as she walks to work most days. “They need to be comfy, but they are also important for your look as a whole,” she says. “Shoes can make or break an outfit.”

“Shoes can make or break an outfit.” black magic

lace it up

“I really like classic styles that have a bit of a twist, and I couldn’t resist this top. While I tend to keep my work and weekend wardrobes separate, it’s great worn with jeans when I’m heading out for a few drinks, and just as good with tailored trousers for the office. The whole outfit works well with flats, which is handy on the days when I’m doing a lot of dashing around.”

“I tend to gravitate towards black – it’s such an easy colour to wear. I love this skirt because it makes a statement, and is also comfortable and versatile. For daywear it’s nice teamed with a basic black knit, and I can dress it up with elegant shoes. A few years ago I had a lot of issues with my lower-back and I was advised to go for more supportive footwear. A friend recommended Ziera – it’s good to have heels I can wear all day and into the evening, and not feel sore by the end of it!” Olena heels $249.95.

Esther boots, $299.95.

Hava flats, $219.95. Cassidy flats, $229.95.

NEW SEASON PICKS For an elegant but comfortable option, Esther ankle boot are a great choice this season. If you prefer shoes, Hava flats will go with most work outfits.

Sharron Heap

CREDIT CONTROLLER AT TEGEL FOOD It’s important for Sharron to look and feel her best when she’s in her corporate office. While there is no dress code, the mumof-one likes to appear smart; “It’s nice to feel like I’m going to work,” she says, adding that she tends to dress up, even on ‘casual Fridays’. The 51-year-old admits that, as with many workplaces, the way employees in her company dress has changed a lot in the 18 years she has been there. “It’s definitely a lot more casual now,” she says. “I used to wear suits when I first went there.” Sharron usually makes her decisions around what she’s going to wear for the day in the morning as she’s waking up. It helps that she has some separation between her work and her weekend wardrobes. “I usually avoid wearing office clothes outside of work,” she says.

Flower power

“I tend to go for floaty outfits as opposed to anything tailored or tight-fitting; I want things that are cool and not going to stick to me. This shirt is just loud and gorgeous. It’s got a long back, it sits really nicely and is very comfortable. I can wear it with anything, but for work it’s great matched with fitted white or black trousers. When it comes to footwear, I’ve got one wonky toe, so having quality shoes that are comfortable is really important.”

“I try and go for shoe styles that look good with lots of things in my wardrobe.”

Fedora heels, $299.95.

True blue

“I love clothing I can wear again and again. This blue top is really elegant; I suit something with a higher neck. I often wear it with these white trousers or a nice white skirt. With jewellery I tend to have a mix of gold and silver, I always wear a stack of bracelets. I try and go for shoe styles that look good with lots of things in my wardrobe. I usually choose neutral colours.”

trelise cooper

walking on sunshine Internationally acclaimed fashion designer Trelise Cooper can’t put a foot wrong. She reveals how she made it to the top, and shares her best style secrets.

hile there are millions of unstoppable women whose incredible achievements go unnoticed, one who provides inspiration for all is Dame Trelise Cooper. New Zealand’s most celebrated fashion designer started her career with a simple focus – to use her designs to make a difference to women’s lives. That goal has been the mum-of-one’s driving force as she has grown from a 23-year-old with no formal training opening her first store in Auckland, into a style icon. Today she boasts four clothing labels, has dressed celebrities including Julia Roberts, Stevie Nicks and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and has branched into jewellery, perfume, eyewear and even homewear. Dame Trelise has done all this while raising son Jasper, 28, and throwing time and energy into great causes. The 59-year-old is the first ever female patron of the Returned Services Association, and has worked with organisations including Breast Cancer Cure, Habitat for Humanity, Hospice and domestic abuse charity Shine. It’s perhaps little wonder she was knighted in 2014 for services to fashion and the community. She took time out from her hectic schedule to chat to Ziera about what it means to Be Unstoppable.

Q&A

Over more than three decades you really have been unstoppable – what motivates you to keep going? I am deeply passionate about all I do. I love my life of fashion, I am constantly stimulated by new ideas and the creative process of seeing them come to fruition. My constant driving force is the transformative power that happens to a woman in a dressing room – ever searching for that garment that makes her feel beautiful, confident and elevated.

What is the greatest challenge you have overcome in your career? My self-doubt – I have been plagued by self-doubt for most of my career. I am more confident with myself these days – but never over-confident. I always have in the back of my mind, ‘You’re only as good as your last collection.’

What do you think is the key to juggling all the projects you have on the go? Focussing on the absolute priority first and making sure that priority is truly a priority. I also have the most amazing support team right throughout my business – I could not do it without them.

L I F E S T Y L E

Looking back at all you have accomplished during your years in the fashion industry, what has been your biggest achievement? Having a vision and a big dream. Never giving up on that dream and creating a life that gives me choices and selfdetermination – also a life spent making women feel confident and happy. What do you think it takes for a woman to achieve her true potential? Self-belief – even with fear and self-doubt – and not waiting to feel confident before starting something. Doing something with fear in your stomach – and achieving it – allows for true confidence to blossom. What makes you feel good about yourself? Being able to be of service to someone else – whether that is through a charitable act or helping a woman feel better about herself. It is my experience that what you focus on you get more of. Therefore it is important to stop negative thinking and focus on the good and that which you are grateful for. This is when I feel good.

“Style is a way to say who you are to the world without speaking a single word.”

Who has been the most inspirational person in your life? My father [Joe Neill]. He grew up poor, married young, and had children while still a teenager, but he was a big thinker, a visionary – positive, ambitious and a great provider. He was always very generous. How would you define great style? Style is a way to say who you are to the world without speaking a word. Great style is a confident personality, grace, and a kind, happy attitude. What are the three essentials every woman should have in her wardrobe? A dress that makes her feel stylish, beautiful and confident, a great pair of shoes that complement that dress, and a good looking handbag. Where will you be in 10 years’ time? Still working, still relevant but with a great team that allows for longer holidays in my house in France.

be unstoppable Every day in Ziera stores we meet amazing, inspirational women. Whether it’s the mum who is selflessly dedicated to her family, the doctor who is saving lives or the businesswoman who goes the extra mile, unstoppable women surround us. Now we want to celebrate that. This year Ziera has launched the Be Unstoppable campaign. It is a search for Kiwi and Australian women who empower others through their amazing spirit. They might not be winning awards or creating headlines, but with the help of a positive attitude and a focus on what matters, they are making a difference. A PRIZED GOAL Does this sound like someone you know? If so, we want to hear from you. We want to help five unstoppable women realise their full potential. Each will receive $2500 to put towards making their dreams a reality. They will also be given five pairs of Ziera shoes, to help them go places in both style and comfort. You can nominate your unstoppable woman by heading to our website, www.zierashoes.com/unstoppable and filling in the short entry form. You could also visit the Ziera Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Zierashoes, tag a friend, and tell us why she’s unstoppable.

our thanks to you We can’t celebrate Australasia’s unstoppable women without your help – so we are also rewarding those who nominate. Just by putting forward your mum, your colleague, your daughter or your friend, you’ll go in the draw to win some Ziera shoes – one pair for you and one for your nominee. So what are you waiting for? Help an incredible woman you know to Be Unstoppable.

Stephanie’s top picks

stephanie

BALANCE PODIATRY Stephanie Underdown at Balance Podiatry in Queensland, Australia knows the importance of well-fitting shoes. “A good 70 per cent of people we see have issues caused by poor footwear choices,” she says. Stephanie likes the fact Ziera shoes have removable footbeds which orthotics (shoe inserts) can be fitted into. She is also a fan of the firm heel cups and the option of a wider toe box. “This reduces issues like hammer toe deformities and bunions, and it can relieve corns and callouses.”

WALK

WORK

“I love this practical and easy-to-wear style for work. Loafers are right on trend and these shoes can be worn with trousers or a skirt.” Lina loafers, $239.95.

Juliann’s top picks

WORK

“They’re comfortable, smart-looking shoes and would look good with pants or a dress.” Soar brogues, $229.95.

WEEKEND

“These boots scream comfort with their cushioned sole – and their leather texture gives them style. The supportive insole that comes with all Ziera shoes is a bonus for added support.” Duo boots, $229.95.

FENDALTON FOOT CLINIC After 21 years working as a podiatrist, Christchurch’s Juliann Simeonidis is well acquainted with Ziera shoes. She regularly sends clients to Ziera stores, where they are impressed by the range of colours and styles. When shopping for shoes, she advises doing it towards the end of the day. “Your feet are often a little more swollen in the afternoon – and that’s when pressure points can reveal themselves,” she says. “Also just be aware if the shoe feels pinchy or if there’s a seam that’s annoying – that sort of thing.”

Amanda’s top picks

amanda

MORRINSVILLE PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC Amanda Foster is a physiotherapist in New Zealand’s Waikato district who works with both sport stars and regular clients – and she knows her stuff. She sees a lot of people with plantar fascia pain (pain in the arch of the foot), as well as ankle sprains, and calf and achillies issues – and she’s in no doubt of the cause. “A lot of the time they’re wearing awful shoes with rubbish support,” she reveals. “You really need something that is designed to support your foot.” Which is why Amanda recommends Ziera shoes. “Many styles are adjustable and can be adapted to different types of feet.” 26

EVENING

“These heels offer superior comfort to ensure you won’t have sore, tired feet by the end of the evening.” Opal heels, $229.95.

WALK

“I prefer a lace-up for a walking shoe; it offers support by gathering the foot at the sides. The cushioned sole looks dreamy to walk on!” Space sneakers, $239.95.

“The lace-up feature on these offers a higher level of support while walking.” Diego sneakers, $199.95.

WALK

WORK

“It’s great to have a stylish but still orthoticfriendly and adjustable shoe to keep me comfortable during my busy days on my feet.” Jet flats, $219.95.

“They can work for a variety of foot types to support your feet, while still looking great when out and about.” Jiggle lace-ups, $229.95.

WEEKEND

“These boots are so versatile, perfect for everything from running around with the kids to having coffee with friends – while still providing support for your feet.” Speed boots, $339.95.

ARCH HEIGHT

r M ore

ARCH POSITION Each arch support wedge has a high and a low end. To adjust the position of the high point, remove the wedge, rotate it 180° and place it under the footbed of the other shoe.

r L ess

If the arch feels too high for you, remove the green arch support wedge and use the footbed without one. If the arch support feels too low, replace the green arch support wedge with the thicker pink one provided in the shoebox.

We are excited to be working on an exciting new project that we know you’re going to love. The starting point was creating something for women who are always on the move. We can’t say too much more at this stage, other than it’s fresh, innovative – and will be a real treat for fans of Ziera.

Weave, $109.95.

Who doesn’t love a great handbag? Starting at just $89.95, Ziera’s fantastic range combines style with practicality, ensuring you have the right bag for every occasion. Weave in black or stone, $109.95, is a great everyday option as it’s big enough to hold all those essentials. Or why not try Sienna, $139.95, a classic style with an on-trend twist. For those who prefer a smaller bag, Jaime, $109.95, is a perfect choice. All our handbags are designed to complement our shoes for a complete look.

We are committed to ensuring Ziera shoes are the most comfortable you have ever worn – which is why we have just launched adjustable arch technology. Developed in conjunction with the AUT School of Podiatry, it allows you to adjust the height and position of the arch support to perfectly suit your feet. Unique inlays come with a cleverly designed support wedge attached to the underside of the footbed – which can be rotated, removed or swapped for a thicker one for the perfect fit. Adjustable arch support is now available in selected styles.
