Australian fashion writer and commentator and guest judge
at the iD Dunedin Fashion Week, Glynis Traill-Nash shares her
thoughts about Dunedin's biggest week in fashion.
Desperate to be accepted into a millinery workshop, an
18-year-old Stephen Jones made his first hat using a
cardboard cereal box and spray-painted plastic flowers.
Curling up with a good book might be the preferred activity
for many Dunedin librarians. But last night they put that and
any natural shyness aside to strut their stuff in vintage
clothing. The ''Geek to Chic'' fashion show at the Dunedin
City Library was held as part of iD Dunedin Fashion Week.
Dunedin will strut its stuff under the international
spotlight this week as it lays out the welcome mat to fashion
aficionados, designers and media from New Zealand and around
the world for iD Dunedin Fashion Week.
A fashion collection inspired by dance will be showcased at
the iD Dunedin Fashion Show, to coincide with the 60th
anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
The international flavour at iD Dunedin Fashion Week is set
to intensify this year, when models from Shanghai will take
to the catwalk, in a first for the annual event.
Models from throughout New Zealand are being considered for
iD Dunedin Fashion Week in March, after the organising
committee opened casting to various agencies.
