he Prime Minister wore a specially-commissioned piece, Digitally Grown, by New Zealand-born industrial designer and 3D artist Dylan Mulder. 

Mulder, who first entered the show in 2012, has been a finalist five times and is a winner of numerous awards.

He said it was an honour to create such a special garment for the event after the show's two-year hiatus. 

"I found together with the creative team we naturally aligned in our values on wanting to celebrate New Zealand’s continued progression and re-emergence back into the international scene. To keep going and thriving as we do best from our corner of the world," said Mulder.

WoW CEO David Tingey said they were delighted for the support from the world leader.

“Celebrating the return of the World of WearableArt Awards Show is a truly special moment for us and the wider arts industry." 

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Prime Minister said she decided to appear as a surprise guest after being approached by the World of Wearable Arts.

"It’s been a tough two years for many events that dealt with cancellations, so the Prime Minister was more than happy to take part in an important recovery milestone for the arts sector, and will continue to be supportive of events that boost our regional tourism, and the economic recovery.

.


.

"Her participation required her to undergo two short fittings, one on the day. The Prime Minister felt privileged to meet the designer and some of the outstanding WOW team.”

Ardern’s participation is reminiscent of former Prime Minister Helen Clark’s appearance in 2002.

For Black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business

For Black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business The Mercury News  /  by Bloomberg News  /  9h By Priya Anand and Sarah McBride | Bloomberg Will Hayes has grown accustomed to an awkward start to business meetings. On numerous occasions, venture capitalists would confuse Hayes, the head of software company Lucidworks Inc., with another man on his executive team. The investor would introduce himself, extend a handshake to the other guy and say, “Good to meet you, Will.” It’s strange because they don’t look alike. Also, Hayes is Black, and his deputy is White. This happened so many times, in dozens of meetings over many years, that Hayes and his longtime colleague, Keith Messick, say it’s no coincidence. Such unintentional instances of racism, they say, have become a routine—and insidious—part of doing business at a Black-led company in Silicon Valley. Protests over the death of George Floyd at the knee of a White police officer in Minneapolis

Fact Check: Trump lied 46 times at recent rallies Forty-six false and misleading claims the president has made at recent rallies. We reviewed all of President Donald Trump’s speeches at campaign rallies over five days, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 16. There were six speeches and combined, Trump spoke for more than eight hours, averaging about one hour and 20 minutes per speech. Below is a compilation of 46 of the false and misleading claims he made; Trump often repeated those claims at multiple rallies. We have organized them by subject matter. Trump spoke in  Sanford, Florida , on Oct. 12, his first rally since recovering from COVID-19. It was the shortest of the five speeches, at just over an hour. The following night, the Republican nominee spoke in  Johnstown, Pennsylvania,  followed by an Oct. 14 rally in  Des Moines, Iowa , then  Greenville, North Carolina,  on Oct. 15. He finished up the week with two rallies: one in  Ocala, Florida , and another in  Macon, Georgia , on Oct. 16. (We
