Such an impressive range of local and international designers will be showing this year at NZFW 2013, and (for my own little announcement) I’ll be reporting on ALL the runway shows this year for, of course – Gurlinterrupted.com, but also for fashionz.co.nz, beautybible.co.nz & gloss.co.nz, so make sure you’re following my blog, as well as following me on Twitter, Instagram & Facebook for up-to-the-minute reports and sneak peeks into whats happening live from NZFW 2013! Oh and did I mention I’m also backstage at NZFW specifically reporting on beauty (YUSS – bring on MAC Cosmetics – they’re what makes the ‘beauty come alive’ at NZFW!!)
To quote Dame Pieter Stewart “THE STRONGEST DESIGNER LINE UP EVER” for New Zealand Fashion Week 2013 has been announced and I’ve got your lineup right here! And what an impressive lineup it is. In total, the confirmed list to date has 53 designers showing on the catwalk during NZFW and NZ Fashion Weekend. From some of the biggest names of New Zealand fashion through to some relative unknowns, Stewart is delighted with the list, which includes a “really strong group of New Zealand’s smaller, edgier labels,” confirming that the event remains an important commercial platform for the local industry.
The NZFW and NZ Fashion Weekend Schedules will both be finalised in the coming week and with just three weeks until the opening night party, the NZFW team is preparing for what is shaping up to be an exciting event.
