It was an interesting morning interviewing Nicole Clulee, an international model who calls New Zealand home (you’ll see her in the Tika story on the site). En route, assistant fashion ed. Bronwyn Williams and I, along with Nicole, popped in to Hunters & Collectors on Cuba Street, Wellington—a place that’s always worth a browse for any fashionista.

   What inspired this post was seeing some of these 4711 samples there. Older readers might remember this brand, and how hard it is to find nowadays—it was Mari Johnson’s 2001 article that I immediately thought of. For those who must have their 4711, this is what I saw (and I realize cellphone cameras are not what Lucire is typically about):

   Finally, for die-hard James Bond fans, there is a Moonraker annual for sale, one assumes, from 1979 or early 1980. Behind it rests annuals for Planet of the Apes and (no kidding) Morecambe & Wise (wig not included).
