I GOTTA HAVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!

New to the DNA crew is Natasya Yusoff from I GOTTA HAVE THAT!

Natasya says:

'I love anything from the 20s right through to the 50s and you may have noticed that the glam era of the 30s and 40s are creeping back into popular fashion. Swing dancing is huge, burlesque is back and mini top hats and feather fascinators are all the rage.

Most of my designs are one of a kind originals. It's very rare to find two pieces the same because I get bored with making the same stuff and I like that my customers all have something totally unique just for them.

I can also custom make you pretty much anything to match your outfit or mood, whether it be for a wedding, the races, a special occasion or just because.

See I can hear you saying it already...”I Gotta HaveThat!”

About DMONIC INTENT/DNA Market.

We are a group of 4 who started our own fashion/jewellery/art label in 2008. We specialise in women's street wear, art and fine jewellery but found ourselves delving into crafts during 2009 when we realised that the craft market scene was pretty big in Auckland.

Now the list of things we make include clothing, fine jewellery, craft jewellery, gloves, belts, bags, soft toys, art works of canvas, wood and fabric, hair accessories, framed photographs, paper crafts and so on and so on.

In 2009 we held our first market titled DNA: Designers 'N' Artists market. It was held at the Ponsonby Community Centre and was pretty good for our first ever attempt at something like this. Despite the mega heavy rain, lack of parking and selecting a venue that was not on a main road we had an awesome turn-out of customers and were very pleased with how it worked out.

We are holding another one this year to give people like us the chance to get their work out there and possibly make some extra cash.

The beauty of it is that because the venue is really big, people selling clothing and art (things that may need space or display items such as clothing racks, mannequins or easels) have the opportunity to effectively display their work in a 2m x 2m space.

We are totally open-minded too! If you're interested in having a stall but are unsure whether or not your product would fit in with our aesthetic, let us know what you make and we'll get back to you. Pretty much though, as long as it is made by you and relates somehow to the creative industry, you are more than welcome to apply.
