Management will wear the suit more often than the players so they have an extra top - a black one with white detailing and a dark grey one with 3/4 sleeves.

"We now have the latest fabrics and technological garments both on and off the court". Vicki Taylor submitted two jacket designs, a more traditional one and the fashion forward 'trench coat design'.

Netball New Zealand approved the trench without hesitation. "The trench gives the suit an edge and flexibility that a traditional corporate jacket can't provide. It's the highlight for me it's stylish and so feminine", said Vicki Taylor.

MERGER OF FUNCTION & DESIGN: "A suit uniform for the Silver Ferns had to represent their brand. It had to look great, perform well and be enduring".

Rather than reaching for the sketch book Vicki started with a note pad and a 'must meet criteria' list innovative and modern sharp and tailored transcend seasonal styling, last for years uniformly the same.

But tailored to the individual flexibility to achieve different looks for various events versatility to be comfortable in different climates look good in real life, media shots, day or night, after long flight best fabrics for look, quality and durability fabrics already tried and tested on our market.

"It was an unlikely marriage between function and fashion, the suit had to multi-task; I believe we've ticked off everything on the list without compromising on style or necessity".

The Trench Coat Suit's first official outing will be at a Parliamentary function before the Fisher & Paykel Test Series against Australia in mid-October.

Vicki Taylor's garments, including this uniform, are all designed and manufactured in New Zealand. The retail locations are 20 Jervois Road, Ponsonby and 1 Teed St, Newmarket, Auckland City.
