After 30 years of spectacular designs for the World of Wearable Arts, one of New Zealand's most prolific illustrators, creators, designers and writers has hung up the hot glue gun.
Well ... not entirely. But after entering the competition every year since 1995 Fifi Colston chose 2025 for her final year - delivering her Magnum Opus "Meine Erste Liebe".
Fifi Colston has illustrated more than 50 picture books, presented arts and crafts across the TV shows What Now and the Good Morning show for 13 years, and has contributed design, costumes and props to film, television and stage.
She's also a published author and was Otago University College of Education Children’s Writer in Residence in 2019.
She's just returned from a 3 week residency in France and creative presentations in Bristol and the Hong Kong Design Institute.
