New Zealand Fashion Week’s grand opening
The opening celebration was held at the New Zealand Fashion Week sheds at the Viaduct in Auckland. Moët and Ned wines were the sponsors of drink, though only Moët seemed to be drunk—it flowed like a river, poured over-excitedly by untrained waiters. Needless to say there were a few Moët-drenched Jimmy Choos about. Speaking […]

We have some sights from the exhibitions and sound bites from this spectacular, and very comprehensive, event. The event […]

They came out of each door at breakneck speed, and the nail-biting risk of their carefully choreographed routine seemed to emphasize the strong-woman atmosphere […]
