KEY POINTS:
See it on The Seen
If you want more fashion coverage than your average nightly television news coverage will give you, then you had better figure out how to tune into alternative local channel Alt TV.
Hostess of The Seen, Anna Fitzpatrick, who's more often been seen modelling on Fashion Week runways, will be putting on an hour-long show about the day's events every evening during the Week.
Strutting shoes
Local shoe designers will also be strutting their stuff on Fashion Week runways.
Kathryn Wilson's footwear will be seen on the feet of models for the Huffer, Juliette Hogan and Love Lies Bleeding shows. And Sarah Riley is putting the boot - and other styles - into the Cybele show.
Opportunity knocks
It's not enough for the Federation streetwear label to put on their own runway show during Fashion Week. Oh no. They've decided it would be an excellent time to open their first flagship store in Auckland's Britomart development too - only a few days before Fashion Week begins.
"We are also moving our workroom on September 1 and we have two kids under three. And we're designing three ranges," writes designer Nick Clegg, who puts the collection together with his wife, Jenny. "September is really huge for us."
Clegg is not only good at designing sportswear, he's also a master of understatement.
