Education and early lifeHis mother’s family emigrated from Scotland to Hokianga and his father came from Greece. His parents met when his father traveled to Northland to work on the gum fields. Bruce’s parents moved to Auckland after they married. Bruce trained as a cabinet maker at Seddon Memorial Technical College in Auckland when the fashion designer Flora MacKenzie came across an example of his glass work. She offered the then 15-year-old a job in her fashion boutique, Ninette Gowns.[1] CareerDuring his five-year apprenticeship, Bruce learnt about fabrics, design, drafting, pattern making, hand cording and embroidery. He left Ninette Gowns to start his own business named Staevros Gowns after his father who had recently passed away.[2] He worked from a room in his mother's house that had fitting rooms on one side and a work space on the other. Bruce continued to specialise in haute couture for a small number of clients, some of whom followed him from Ninette Gowns. His wedding and bridesmaids gowns, in particular, received much acclaim. However, he was soon called up for compulsory training with the RAF.[3] On his return, Bruce was headhunted by Milne & Choyce department store. They were looking for a full-time designer to create three ranges a year – approximately 500 styles – and manage a workroom of 50 staff.[4] Awards and recognitionIn 1961 Bruce won the inaugural Golden Shears Awards with his Golden Peacock gown.[5] A large collection of his garments and design sketches are held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.[6] ExhibitionsIn 2018, New Zealand Fashion Museum celebrated his legacy with an exhibition "A Certain Style: Bruce Papas.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Dix|first1=Kelly|title=Bruce Papas|url=http://www.nzfashionmuseum.org.nz/b/bruce-papas/|website=www.nzfashionmuseum.org.nz|publisher=New Zealand Fashion Museum|accessdate=23 March 2018|language=en}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Papas, Bruce}}2. ^{{Cite book|title=The Dress Circle|last=Hammonds|first=Lucy|last2=Lloyd Jenkins|first2=Douglas|last3=Regnault|first3=Claire|publisher=Random House|year=2010|isbn=9781869621810|location=New Zealand|pages=78–79}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/discover/collections/topics/bruce-papas-advocate-of-elegance|title=Bruce Papas: Advocate of elegance|last=Dix|first=Kelly|date=|website=Auckland War Memorial Museum|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/ephemera/44291/bruce-papas-advertisement-1958|title=Bruce Papas advertisement, 1958|last=Taonga|first=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage Te Manatu|website=teara.govt.nz|language=en|access-date=2018-03-27}} 5. ^{{Cite book|title=The Dress Circle|last=Hammonds|first=Lucy|last2=Lloyd Jenkins|first2=Douglas|last3=Regnault|first3=Claire|publisher=Random House|year=2010|isbn=9781869621810|location=New Zealand|pages=113}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/discover/collections/topics/a-certain-style-bruce-papas|title=Tailoring Perfection|last=Groufsky|first=Jane|date=|website=Auckland War Memorial Museum|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=de Pont|first1=Doris|title=A certain style: moving fashion forward by looking back|url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/auckland/4-days-of-fashion/16-03-2018/a-certain-style-moving-fashion-forward-by-looking-back/|accessdate=24 March 2018|work=The Spinoff|date=16 March 2018}} 3 : New Zealand fashion designers|1931 births|Living people |
