Wool ensemble with cut work trim on the collar
Bruce Papas designed under two labels when he had a salon at 246 Shopping Centre - Bruce Papas Model and Staevros Boutique. The cutwork appliqué on the collar of this ensemble echoes his work, 20 years earlier, with Ninette Gowns. Read more about Bruce Papas in the New Zealand Fashion Museum publication, A Certain Style.
