Just Announced: Kimbra to Perform at Kathryn Wilson Nzfw Show 2011, the Biggest Public Fashion Show Ever Stage in New Zealand
Kimbra Will Perform In An Exclusive Event For Kathryn Wilson Nzfw Show 2011 In New Zealand First, Kathryn Wilson Is Inviting 3,000 Public Guests To Her Catwalk Show!
The public will be front row at New Zealand Fashion Week this year as Kathryn Wilson invites fashion fans and the shoe-obsessed to party at the launch of her winter 2012 collection.
Kathryn's debut at New Zealand Fashion Week in 2010 was strictly invite only - a common trait of closed-door fashion week events. The venue held 1000 guests and spare tickets were as rare as apair of the original Jimmy Boots! That event was all about thanking those in the industry who had helped
Kathryn reach the fashion week milestone. 2011 is different: it's all about celebrating the customers who love fashion and want to see and experience fashion week first hand.
Complemented by a band of funky virtuosos, Kimbra will perform tracks from her debut album VOWS (Out August 29) to the 3,000 strong crowd. At 21 years of age, Kimbra possesses the maturity and musical sophistication of the mavericks she is often compared to - from vocal legends Nina Simone and Jeff Buckley, to radicals from the likes of Prince, to her contemporaries Bjork and Janelle Monae.
Kimbra is thrilled to be returning to New Zealand to mark the release of VOWS, and her exclusive Kathryn Wilson NZFW performance, "I love Kathryn's sense of colour and design. We are so excited to be performing at Kathryn's show - I can't wait to see the new shoes myself!"
People are in for a treat as Kimbra performs songs from the ambitiously eclectic journey which is VOWS. From the album opener and lead single ‘Settle Down', to the Motown-worthy stomp of ‘Cameo Lover' to the jazzy bass and nimble shuffle of new single ‘GoodIntent' (which can be seen here in all it's live glory performed at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios) it is Kimbra's live shows which have earned her the highest praise;
"She was like a current of electricity, striking at every single corner of the room"
Drum Media @ Oxford Arts Factory, Sydney
"Her name is Kimbra. She's from New Zealand. And she's effing rad!!!!! If you like Nina Simone, Florence & The Machine and/or Bjork, then we think you will enjoy Kimbra her music reminds us of all those fierce ladies!"
Perez Hilton, PerezHilton.com
"Kimbra, elegantly contrasted in red and black, tilted her head back, rocked on her heels and let her voice soar; enchanting all who were lucky enough to hear it"
Inpress Magazine @ Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
