Future of international fashion design on display in Dunedin
The future of fashion looked bright in Dunedin on Saturday as the iD Dunedin Emerging Designer Awards returned in physical form at a glittering and glamorous evening event at the Otago Museum, after being forced to go digital in 2020 due to Covid-19.
A cleverly designed virtual entry and judging system meant students from around the world in their final year of fashion school were able to submit their entries digitally to a diverse panel of judges that included Sara Maino, senior editor at Vogue Italia, WWD’s Australian correspondent Patty Huntington, Mindful Fashion’s Jacinta FitzGerald, Doris de Pont from the NZ Fashion Museum, NOM*d’s Margarita Robertson and Dame Denise L'Estrange-Corbet of WORLD.
Guests at the live runway show, which sold out within 24 hours of tickets going on sale, were treated to a close-up look at 15 New Zealand and Australian finalists’ collections, while a film featuring all 41 finalists from around the globe played on screens throughout the venue across the evening.
The second half of the show featured current and coming season designs from NOM*d, MildRed, Carlson, Company of Strangers and Charmaine Reveley, touted as the “godmothers” of Dunedin fashion.
