"This is very different from New Zealand's black," says Knapp. "Two miracles is all about finding new things. We do not want to follow trends, we want to make new ones." While their decision to "jump and make Fashion Week" might seem premature, Son, and Knapp have several years of experience to offer the label.

The couple, who are now "best friends", met at the store, when Knapp was a student on a tight budget, but are still buying expensive clothes Zimmermann. She completed her studies in creative technology and is now head of the shop, and during the last five years, women have been attended by New Zealand and Australian fashion weeks as a customer.
Knapp "has always been a sucker for nice clothes," while Son does not have formal training in fashion design, she is sewing of 10 years.
They were described as "two miracles" of the Son of man because of insatiable energy and enthusiasm, and this is one of the reasons behind their mark ime.Ostale references Cambodia Angkor Wat, often described as the second wonder of the world.
