Following in the well-heeled footsteps of previous international guests such as designer Zandra Rhodes, fashion journalist Hilary Alexander and celebrity milliner Stephen Jones, this year's iD Dunedin Fashion Week will welcome another major international guest: Emilia Wickstead.
The Auckland-born, London-based designer has become the go-to for the Sloane set, with fans including Suki Waterhouse, Alexa Chung and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Emilia's New Zealand visit in March will include judging the iD International Emerging Designer Awards, as well as showcasing some of her own archival designs (pictured) on the runway.
