And guess what? Critic has managed to get its hot wee hands on three copies of the gorgeous Madame Hawk journal, thanks to our fabulous friends down the road at Ruby Boutique. So what this means for you, dear fashion devotees, is that you can score yourself a copy by writing in and unleashing some serious love/hate/utter infatuation about “the state of fashion”. Word limit is non-existent and there’s the negotiable possibility that your style insights will also grace the pages of our highly reputable magazine. This journal is definitely worth its weight in Arial size 12 (please, please no Comic Sans MS) so get typing and pretty pages of beautiful things will be floating your way. fashion@critic.co.nz
