Nationality New Zealander Occupation(s ) Fashion designer and businesswoman Known for Founded WORLD
Dame Denise Ann L'Estrange-Corbet DNZM is a New Zealand fashion designer and businesswoman. She founded WORLD, a fashion label , in 1989 with her then husband, Francis Hooper.
Personal life
L'Estrange-Corbet published her autobiography, All That Glitters , in 2008, in which she discussed her childhood in London and her history of depression.[1] At the age of 3 her mother took her and her sister to England to escape an abusive alcoholic father, and she was raised in London.[2] She appeared in a Ministry of Health campaign aimed at reducing the stigma of suffering from depression.[3]
Honours
L'Estrange-Corbet with Francis Hooper at an investiture dinner in 2014, following Hooper's appointment as a MNZM
In 1995 WORLD's designs won the Avant Garde category at the Benson & Hedges Fashion Design Award, a $5000 prize.[2] In the 2002 Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee Honours , L'Estrange-Corbet was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM), for services to fashion design.[4] She was promoted to Dame Companion (DNZM) of the same order in the 2018 New Year Honours , for services to fashion and the community.[5] [3] [6] [7] She won the Westpac "Women of Influence" award in 2017.[6] In 2015 WORLD became the first fashion brand to be endorsed by the United Nations .[2]
Controversy
In May 2018, online news platform The Spinoff criticized L'Estrange-Corbet's brand WORLD for selling imported clothes with a label attached saying "Made in New Zealand" in French, and having herself made frequent criticisms of labour conditions of imported products[8] . The brand had not been rated by TEAR Fund's labour standards ratings scheme because of the claim all the products were made in New Zealand. L'Estrange-Corbet defended WORLD's practices, calling the story "gutter journalism" and a "beat-up" [9] , and saying that the "clothing tags that say Made in NZ are Made in NZ, so there is nothing misleading about this" [10] .
