Under a fashion cloud

New Zealand Fashion Week @ The Cloud
19th & 20th October 2011

If watching live rugby matches is not your cup of tea, The Cloud has suddenly become a whole lot more interesting.

The long white cloud on Auckland's waterfront constructed for the Rugby World Cup will play host to a showcase of New Zealand’s in-season and upcoming fashion from over 50 of the country’s top designers.

A total of six shows will be held over the 19th and 20th of October as part of REAL NZ Festival and as a special showcase of New Zealand fashion innovation.

Apart from the goody bags, these free public shows feature all the glam you expect at Fashion Week.

New Zealand Fashion Week Managing Director Pieter Stewart says, “We’re very proud to present a showcase of our best New Zealand fashion designers during the Rugby World Cup. These fantastic events allow the public and international guests to come and see fashion by our top Kiwi designers and experience all the excitement of a fashion show at the vibrant Cloud venue."

Each fashion show will feature the current summer season and spot beauty prizes. As well as the many VIPs and fashion designers in attendance, visitors of the shows might also spot Next Top Model winner Brigette Thomas on the runway and presenting the event MC & DJ Karn Hall.

Some added excitement before the shows will see Servilles and Smashbox doing hair and makeup for the show live amongst the crowds.

Show Days: Wednesday 19 & Thursday 20 October.
Show times: 1.00pm, 2.30pm & 4.00pm both days.
