We
love the buzz...
Wellington
plays centre stage for its first Fashion Week.
From
Wednesday 18 to Sunday 22 April, runway shows and networking events will see
the energies of designers, retailers, promoters and media mix and sparkle.
These will be brilliant days.
The
major draw cards are the three designer shows. In total, three hours of vibrant
runway. The collections of eighteen designers, from the hauntingly gorgeous Trelise Cooper through to the zesty
emerging labels of Kelsey Genna and Silence Was, will exhibit with all the
excitement of styling, lighting, hair, makeup and music. These shows will take
place in the grand hall of the old museum building.
As
well as these anchor shows, the Wellington Fashion Week crew have developed
other events which will bookmark the event. A photo competition along Lambton
Quay is a neat idea. A High Tea for designers and delegates will be a sumptuous
platform for networking. A Couture Bridal capsule will highlight the best of
design and fabrics, and a downloadable app is a savvy piece of technology for
navigating your way through all the treasure.
Wellington Fashion Week will showcase the city, its great talent of designers and its
superb range of shops and amenities.
We
love the buzz of Wellington Fashion Week.
