Issey Miyake Pleats Please launch
Vintage lover Lily Gibson has launched a small collection of Pleats Please by Issey Miyake. The iconic range debuted in 1989, quickly becoming a wardrobe staple in Japan. New Zealander Lily's collection is an edit of these pieces, available on her website Super Mizu store, representing her love of vintage and her home in Tokyo. "It's about garments that work with anyone's personal style, and that are easy to care for. Everyone in Japan, from fashion girls to the elderly have Pleats Please as a wardrobe staple. My apartment in Tokyo is next to the Issey Miyake offices so I've always been inspired by the workers standing outside smoking in full Pleats Please."

Advertise with NZME.Auckland Fish Market
This week Auckland Fish Market reopens as a bustling food hub with eight new eateries and indoor-outdoor seating for 400 people. In keeping with its 90-year history as a hub for fresh seafood, the Jellicoe St venue, owned by fishing company Sanford, will be a celebration of the sea. Visitors will find Azabu Lite, a smaller version of Ponsonby's Azabu from chef Yukio Ozeki; poke bowls; Thai food; South American grill; mussels and oysters from BillyPot, as well as coffee and gelato from Good Karma. Outside is wood-fired pizza, a bar, and Market Galley led by Ostro chef Cobus Klopper. Despite the new attractions it's not all change; the morning fish auction will continue, as well as a world-class fishmonger on-site in Sanford & Sons.
Where: 22 Jellicoe St, Wynyard Quarter
