Silverdale—Spring/Summer 2010/11 in New Zealand

Silverdale Knitwear was established in 1946 by the Antcliff family and is based in Levin–an hour north of Wellington on the West Coast of New Zealand.

Since its inception, Silverdale has been at the forefront of the knitwear market, blending its technical expertise with future trends and consumer demands whilst maintaining an ongoing commitment to quality materials, workmanship and service.

Whether sourcing raw materials from the Southern Alps of New Zealand or from the best yarn houses of Italy, Silverdale is passionate about creating beautiful and luxurious knitwear pieces that embody a proud history of quality and style.

Launching in Winter 2008, Silverdale by Andrea Moore fuses the quality of elite knitwear manufacturer Silverdale with the chic creations of fashion designer Andrea Moore.

The result is a collection of smart, slouchy chic and body-skimming pieces that hint at military and tuxedo influences in shades of crème brûlée, pumice and aubergine with shocks of vibrant scarlet.
