KEY POINTS:
Photos from Chelsea Thorpe, Salasai and Jaeha at New Zealand Fashion Week.
Jaeha wowed audiences as part of the AUT Rookie Show last year. This is his first major runway show, inspired by the 1990 movie Edward Scissorhands.
Salasai has been Kirsha Whitcher's personal project since 2005. Her collections are reminiscent of her teenage years in the 1980s and her love of vintage clothing - combining comfort and high fashion is a key part of her direction.
Meanwhile, Gisborne-based designer Chelsea Thorpe has been producing her own range for three seasons now.
