Big lineup of designers at Fashion Week

The biggest lineup of designers yet will show their clothes at this year's Fashion Week.

Most of New Zealand fashion's top names will be joined by a host of hopefuls wanting to catch the eye of buyers.

In all 59 labels and 29 individual shows will be included in the Air New Zealand-sponsored week which runs from September 18-23.

It will be followed by shows open to the public and a designer garage sale, featuring cut-price garments.
