The catwalk body shapes at Fashion Week changed yesterday when a group of sport stars showed off a new underware range.

To showcase styles from the Jockey brand, Sevens players DJ Forbes and Scott Curry, All Blacks Damian McKenzie and Anton Lienert-Brown and Black Fern and World Cup winner Portia Woodman got in the mood to kick off Fashion Weekend.

Matilda Rice from The Bachelor fame joined the super-fit group at the ANZ Viaduct Events Centre.

The weekend is filled with shows from the big names in fashion including World, Augustine, Hailwood, Knuefermann and Russell Athletic.

The doors open at 10am today and tomorrow - with early access for VIPs - for the popular Designer Pop-Up Sale.

Father's Day hasn't been forgotten with a vintage style barber shop on-site at the Beauty Hub with an team of skilled barbers offering a trim or a hot shave.

Tomorrow also brings cuteness overload, and perhaps a few tantrums, as children as young as 2 take to the catwalk in the Kids' Show from Little Treasures.

Maternity wear in "bump-flattering" styles will also be on show.
