May Wrap Up April 2025
Happy Birthday to our enduring Annah Stretton brand
What a huge month it has been. The Annah Stretton brand turned 33 years old on 14 April and we got to celebrate in so many ways.
As we mark 33 years in the fashion industry, I want to acknowledge our incredible journey, supported by so many capable women. Fashion has been my greatest teacher, a powerful mentor, and an incredible enabler of our community contribution.
A legacy brand featured across NZME
The NZ Women’s Weekly ran a very timely story celebrating Annah Stretton as a legacy brand. I absolutely loved the gorgeous photos of the four generations with three still working together. The images of the four of us are very special. This will be a significant moment for Lily in the many years to come.
Morrinsville Gallery Exhibition I Am Woman opens 1 May
The Morrinsville Gallery invited us to showcase our 33 years in fashion. This opened on 1 May and runs until 25 May. The exhibition highlights our fashion journey, creativity, and our social impact story.

Grandee’s celebrating the month that was
A huge congratulations to Suzanne Prentice on her investiture
What a fabulous moment to see Suzanne shine in her Winn Eva jacket and Vita pant. She looked incredible and we are so proud to have her as such a wonderful advocate for our label.
And we all love Camille
It would not be a complete month without Camille’s energy lighting up our social channels. We love how fabulous she looks in our clothes, and this time we got to help her tick off a bucket list moment by being photographed in an old world bathtub full of flowers. A massive thank you to Mitre Ten Cambridge for the gorgeous bath that made it possible.
Speaking at the International Association of Lyceum Clubs Triennial Congress in Tauranga
It was a huge honour to be asked to speak at the Lyceum International Triennial Conference in Tauranga. Such an engaged and diverse group of ladies from across the globe and some even from international correctional roles. I loved the opportunity to share our journey in both the fashion and social impact spaces. We now have a group of 60 of these women booked to visit the RAW Beauty Exhibition in May.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner
Mother’s Day is one of the biggest celebrations of the year for us across our label, our workspace, and of course in our own family. My gorgeous mum still works with us at 86 years of age absolutely inspirational.
Don't forget to check out our beautiful giftware selection for mum.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all. Annah x
