Best Newcomers of this year were Jimmy D, Beth Ellery, Jaimie Webster and Docherty Wilkins with their odd-but-interesting sculptural tailoring with high potentials.
Local stylists proved their worth to the designers and new and interesting runway looks were created by hardworking Karen Inderbitzen-Waller, Atip Wananuruks, and Linda Davidson, all won labels rave reviews.
Peter Loughlin of the Arabesque label makes frocks for wealthy Arab women in Dubai and one of his dresses was worth US $100,000.
The cutest goodie bag inserts included Huffer's great checked wallet and Zambesi's striped blue and grey marle scarf.
Annah Stretton's daughter models, niece of Laurinda Sutcliffe and Paul Blomfield and Petra Bagust's daughter Venetia danced with the models.
The Number One Shoe Warehouse were doing copies of international designer shoes which may not be of long-lasting quality but came at bargain prices and in big, model-feet sizes.
Student designer awards were with a whole bunch of madly made clothes, however, the Deutz Fashion Ambassador Collection was fantastic with a variety of professional, stand-out designers.
