Deeanne Hobbs & Jellicoe: New Season Arrivals & How to Wear Them
NEW SEASON FASHION
ART YOU CAN WEAR
Every season I wait for the Deeanne Hobbs and Jellicoe drops with real excitement. They’re designed right here in New Zealand, the prints are like wearing a piece of art, and the shapes are so flattering on real bodies. Whenever I wear them I get asked what I’m wearing. The new spring/summer pieces have landed, so here’s what’s new, what our customers are loving, and how I’d wear them.
SHOP DEEANNE HOBBS & JELLICOESEE WHAT’S NEWWhy we love Deeanne Hobbs & Jellicoe
1Designed in New Zealand
Both labels come from Kiwi designer Deeanne Hobbs. Deeanne Hobbs is her more sculptural, architectural label, and Jellicoe is the playful, print-loving sister brand. Buying them supports New Zealand design and creativity.
2Art you can wear
Hearts, smudged spots, palm prints, oversized florals and bold stripes. These aren’t prints you’ll see on everyone else, and they’re the reason people stop you to ask where your outfit is from.
3Shapes that flatter
Cocoon silhouettes, inset pockets, adjustable back elastic, soft gathering and generous sleeves mean these pieces skim rather than cling. They’re designed to move with you, and most styles come in sizes XS to 3XL.
4Beautiful fabrics
This season you’ll find soft Tencel, breathable cotton, cotton bamboo, stretch cotton and floaty viscose and rayon. They feel as good as they look, which is exactly what you want for a Kiwi summer.
5Pieces that last
These are investment pieces you’ll wear for years, not one season. Layer a coat over last year’s dress or team a new top with pants you already own, and it all works together.
New from Deeanne Hobbs
The stand-out this season is the Wide Line collection, a bold black and white stripe in sculptural shapes. The Deeanne Hobbs Wide Line Construction Coat is a sleeveless statement layer with cut-away front panels and adjustable cord detailing. Throw it over a plain black dress or tee and pants and the whole outfit changes. The Deeanne Hobbs Wide Line Heritage Jacket is a cropped jacket with dramatic curved sleeves, and the Evenflow Dress has a dramatic front pleat, a clean centre seam and inset pockets.

The Deeanne Hobbs Trace Black Brylee Dress has a gathered waist, stand collar and button front, and the Deeanne Hobbs Trace Black Stella Top has gathered sleeves with elasticated cuffs. The Deeanne Hobbs Khaki Sienne Dress brings the much-loved Sienne shape in a fresh khaki cotton, and pairs perfectly with the Deeanne Hobbs Stripe Khaki Direction Pants. Don’t miss the Deeanne Hobbs Nova Grid Mesh Top, a sheer layering piece that adds instant edge under dresses and tunics.

$229.99SHOP NOWHow to style it this summer
1The statement layer
Wear the Construction Coat over the Brylee Dress, or over the Nova Top with black pants. In my fit notes I said: “If there is one piece you just have to add to your wardrobe, it’s this!” It literally goes with everything, and it’s a stretch fabric so it’s a super easy fit.
2The easy summer dress
The Frankie Dress is one of my favourites. It’s quite long, so I unbutton the bottom button and tie a knot on each side to show a little leg and ankle. Add sandals and a straw bag and you’re ready for lunch or a summer function.
3The weekend uniform
Pair the Loved Monochrome Relaxed Top or Navy Stripe Basic Tee with the Direction Pants or your favourite denim and white sneakers. Easy, fun and done in five minutes.
