Eden Hore held one of one of the most significant high fashion collections of its kind in Australasia in a tractor shed on his high-country farm in the Māniatoto. A successful, quietly spoken farmer, he was the unlikely owner of more than 270 high fashion garments and accessories. Eden Hore defied the stereotype of what a 'Southern Man' should be and also wanted the collection to bring tourists to Naseby.
A new book documents the incredible collection, with photographs by internationally renowned NZ photographer Derek Henderson Central Otago Couture: The Eden Hore Collection by Claire Regnault and Jane Malthus.
Mihi speaks with Jane Malthus and Derek Henderson.
