iD Dunedin Fashion Week will show its support of Christchurch
designers with three special ‘Celebrate Christchurch’
capsule collections to feature on the runway of this year’s iD
Fashion Show held on Friday 30 March and Saturday 31 March 2012, in
Dunedin. High profile and popular Christchurch labels MisteR, Barbara
Lee and Caroline Moore were approached by the iD Fashion Week
Committee to showcase their Winter 2012 collections in the iD Fashion
Shows.
iD Dunedin Fashion Week Committee Chair Susie Staley says the
committee felt the opportunity to show at iD may be welcomed by these
designers who, along with many others in Christchurch, have
experienced considerable hardship personally and professionally over
the past 16 months.
“We’re thrilled that these three Christchurch-based
designers will join our ‘Dunedin’ designers and enjoy the
fun and excitement that being part of the iD Fashion Show is all
about. It also gives the public a chance to see their latest winter
collections, available in retail outlets across New Zealand directly
after the shows.â€
MisteR, a boutique menswear label known for its distinctive
international outlook, combines the heritage of British tailoring and
the experimental fun and quirkiness of Asian fashion, while Barbara
Lee has been at the forefront of fashion since opening her signature
store in 1978. She is famous for designing sexy, fabulous city wear
for high-flying women. New Zealand's leading label of high fashion
leather garments, Caroline Moore, features collections designed and
tailored in the company's Christchurch premises by expert seamstresses
using the finest lambskins selected from tanneries in New Zealand and
Italy.
Also featuring in this year’s iD Fashion Show, with an
exceptional capsule collection, is a joint showcase by the Cooper
sisters, Tamsin and Emily, with their respective labels Tamsin Cooper
and Silkbody. The collection will feature Silkbody garments styled
beautifully with Tamsin Cooper accessories and velvet coats creating
synergies of silk and luxury.
These four capsule collections will join the 18 other participating
labels selected to show their winter collections, including many of
Dunedin’s much-loved designers such as Nom*D, Carlson, Mild Red,
Charmaine Reveley, and Company of Strangers alongside some of the
hottest new labels in the country.
Fashion lovers can also enjoy other fantastic events during the week,
including a ‘Darnell Renewed’ fashion show hosted by author
and fashion guru Charlotte Smith at Dunedin’s Golden Centre Mall
at 6.30pm during Starlight Shopping on Wednesday 28 March. Charlotte
Smith was a popular international guest at iD Fashion Week in 2011 and
the show will feature a variety of international vintage couture items
not seen previously, mixing vintage alongside current season pieces
from local designers and retailers.

Thursday 29 March 2012, starting at 7pm. The event will be held at the
