Get minked at Fashion Week!

Biggest fashion week ever!

Now in its tenth year, New Zealand Fashion Week has come a long way, baby.

Thread remembers the first one, back in the Auckland Town Hall, with just one room, not the many tents and offsite shows of today. Now for 2010 NZFW has announced its recession-beating biggest list of designers ever to show there.

NZFW Managing Director Pieter Stewart spoke to sponsors, designers and fashion industry media at the Westin Auckland Lighter Quay, official hotel of NZFW, at 3.30pm today, and unveiled the new campaign billboard created from the New Talent competition. Read about it here.

“2010 is all about celebration for the New Zealand fashion industry” said Stewart, “a lot has changed in the past ten years and NZFW has seen a lot of designers come and go in that time, but announcing a full schedule of designer shows, the most we have ever had, is something to celebrate as we look toward the next ten years. “
