Trelise Cooper:burglars stole entire Spring/Summer collection
Celebrated designer Dame Trelise Cooper says the theft over the weekend of thousands of garments from her Auckland workshop has cost the business countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Dame Trelise told our reporter Louise Ternouth that she just wants her clothes back.
