Wynne Fallwell (1933-2014) was a noted New Zealand fashion milliner.
Early life
Fallwell was born in 1939. He grew up in Auckland and attended St Peters College. [1]
Career
Fallwell worked in various millinery workshops before commencing his own label, Mr Wyn Originals. He opened a hat shop in Canterbury Arcade, Queen Street, Auckland, near the John Courts Department Store and Fallwell's hats under that label became well-known throughout New Zealand. In 1973 Wynne was selected alongside Vinka Lucas to design the uniforms for Air New Zealand. "Vinka designed a turquoise pinafore dress worn over a gold blouse with full leg-of-mutton sleeves and a tailored jacket with a navy trim. Wynne made a matching turquoise Breton hat." With changes in fashion which saw the diminishing of the demand for hats, Fallwell ceased to be involved in the fashion industry in the 1980s. A photographic collection of his hats is located in the New Zealand Fashion Museum.[1]
Death
Wynne Fallwell died in 2014.[1]
