We're really happy to have them here! And of course Air NZ Fashion Week is not just a designer event but also vitally important for buyers, so more variety will spice up the week and raise standards all round,” says Neville Findlay, Founder of Zambesi.

Now in its eight year running, Air New Zealand Fashion Week last year showcased 74 New Zealand designer collections and the big week attracted more than 800 national and international buyers and media.

In addition there were approximately 20,000 other invited guests over the four days. This year with the inclusion of Australian designers, event organizers hope to generate heightened interest from buyers, media and delegates alike.

Air New Zealand Fashion Week Directors Pieter Stewart and Myken Stewart recently spent time at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week where they were warmly received by a number of Australian designers.

Air New Zealand Fashion Week applications close to designers on June 7th. The Event Selection panel will conduct the selection process through June and July with all designers announced on July 23rd.

Air New Zealand Fashion Week 2008 dates:
• Fashion Trade Days - Tuesday September 16th until Thursday September 19th
• Fashion Weekend (Public Days) - Friday September 20th and Saturday September 21st
