Celebrating a decade

Designers NOM*d, Zambesi, Trelise Cooper and Starfish — who will stage the very first Eco Show — all feature as part of the largest ever line up at New Zealand Fashion Week held from September 21 to 25 in Auckland. The industry week will see around 6 labels hit the catwalk. Stolen Girlfriends Club, Annah Stretton, Sabatini and Stitch Ministry will also show, along with Australian labels Ellery, Fernando Frisoni and Megan Park. US designer Nicole Miller has been announced as this year’s international guest.
