About

Founded by Margarita Robertson in 1986 in Dunedin, NOM*d is a label that continues to embrace the gothic beguile of this elemental place.

NOM*d

Over three decades, NOM*d has galvanised its position as a label that honours the sharp intelligence and deep individuality of the wearer. For NOM*d, clothing can be a portal to a profound inner landscape or a shield against the outside world.

NOM*d offers a wardrobe that is understated and subversive. Taking an irreverent approach to tailored silhouettes and utilitarian textiles, deconstruction and unexpected reworking underpin the label’s design to create garments that, although experimental, can be worn as uniform. NOM*d is enduring – like the singular chime of a bell – yet defiant; the interplay between light and dark has been resolute throughout the years.

Founded by Margarita Robertson in 1986 in Dunedin, NOM*d is a label that continues to embrace the gothic beguile of this elemental place.

All NOM*d clothing is proudly made in New Zealand.

PLUME

Through the beautiful arched leadlight entranceway in George Street, Dunedin this two-storied white-walled store has housed collections of a uniquely curated blend of sustainable New Zealand made and international clothing labels since 1978.

Independently owned by Margarita and Chris Robertson, it is their instinct and vision which has enabled PLUME to remain in business for decades – a long time in fashion terms.

In 1992, the Robertson’s opened a second PLUME store. The Christchurch location in the post-earthquake CBD is a beautifully designed space and the engaged, passionate staff welcome discerning shoppers looking for clever, stylish and agenda-setting clothing.

Margarita Robertson’s impeccable edit of high profile designers sits alongside their own internationally acclaimed brand NOM*d. For upscale, truly interesting clothing PLUME has the edge.
