The Southern Trust iD Dunedin Fashion Show has scored a coup for its 10th anniversary show in March with fashion label World to appear as guest designer.

Chief designer Francis Hooper said yesterday he had been wanting World designs to appear in the show for about seven years.

"Finally, we have been able to clear our diaries to be part of an event that breeds incredible creativity.

"The iD show has a unique character which I have loved since day one . . ."

World was established in Auckland in 1989 by Hooper and Denise L'Estrange-Corbet, known for their quirky and colourful styles.

They have shown at events in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, London and Paris.

Hooper said they hoped to add an "extra bit of character" to the show with opulent pieces from their Winter '09 collection - "There Is No Depression In New Zealand".

Event co-ordinator Victoria Bunton said the World collection would "create huge audience appeal and bring a different dimension to the event".
