Oh Lorde
There has been a lot of debate about what Lorde may wear at the Grammys next week and whether the New Zealand fashion industry will be represented at all. What ever she wears I am sure it will be something she wants to wear.
Crane Brothers are well represented on the red carpet, in the audience and, I hope, on the podium.
Joel Little - songwriter and producer, Ashley Page, Joel's manager, Vic O'Connor - Lorde's father, Paul Little - journalist for the Herald and Joel's father, and Scott Maclachlan - Lorde's manager are all dressed by Crane Brothers.
We wish them all the best of luck.
