Susy Wi Rutene is a 66 year old designer who has turned pre-loved vintage coats and the last remnants of Christchurch’s fur trade into contemporary fashion statements from her home in Christchurch.

Susy’s challenge is to breathe new life into the coats, give them an edge and release them from long-forgotten, cold corners of wardrobes.

Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel Manager Donna Fallon has several of these beautiful coats and accessories on display at the Hotel.

Donna will be celebrating her 50th birthday in Bali, later this year.  Judging by the training video we are sure she will be in perfect shape for her holiday.

Snow has continued to fall in Queenstown over the past few days.  A further 15 – 20 cm of snow is forecasted to fall overnight down to 200m.

Even though guests of Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel were unable to fly out of Queenstown due to flights being cancelled, guests were happy to extend their stay giving them more time to ski and to enjoy the spectacular views of snow covered Queenstown.
