The Greatest Dress Designer's Swan Song

Auckland

A major Institute /Museum in Washington DC, has contacted Kevin Berkahn, regarding sending one of his dresses for a major Exhibition / Gala to be held in Washington, in May.

Guest of honour will be Melania Trump.

Without doubt, Kevin was New Zealand's greatest wedding dress and gown designer throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's, and his gowns have sold all over the world. Many celebrities and social dignitaries have worn Kevins dresses. Most of the society weddings in Auckland during the 70's and 80's were wearing Kevins dresses.

Time has taken its toll on Kevin and now at 85, he cannot afford to fly to Washinton to help promote New Zealand fashion, and to show one of his magnificent dresses.

As a young bride in the 1980’s you were happy to let me try on several of your dresses. You probably knew they were well beyond my budget but were still happy to be enthusiastic and helpful. Have a great trip.
