As depicted in the Ladies' Mirror
    The Ladies� Mirror, the fashionable ladies� journal of New Zealand was first published in July 1922. The culture of the Ladies� Mirror is that of the evolving European woman of New Zealand in the 1920s. The editor says of the then new journal: �Our Illustrated descriptions of the latest �creations� of the consumier will be on a scale not attempted elsewhere, and we can safely promise that those who follow the lead we give will be in step with all that is new and attractive..'

Women of inspiration
   Through the photographs and articles, it can be seen that within the pages of the Ladies� Mirror, the older women of the Victorian era were revered, while the writers themselves were taking hold of the future as advocates of the new women's trends and designs. In 1922, a garden party was held at  Government House in
Auckland. This event was organized by the Victoria League, whch was responsible for promoting many fashionable social
events in Auckland in which the captivating, glamorous gowns were displayed. These occasions also included the Powder and Patches Ball.
