iD Dunedin turns 15

There was a buzz of excitement at the Dunedin railway station as the audience waited for the 15th iD Fashion show to commence.

Highlights for me this year? There were so many.

Let me start with the obvious ones. Ballet dancing men.

Handsome male dancers from the Royal New Zealand Ballet worked with Tamsin Cooper’s elegant collection, in her first collection for men. The emerald green women’s coat however had my name on it. The show had been edging along then all of a sudden Pow! Three dancers leapt onto the catwalk. This made me sit up and take notice as they grabbed my full attention.

International judge Martin Grant produced some exquisite evening wear, which was inspired by women’s swimwear from the 30s and Russian Ballet dancers.

As I sipped on a tasty Rockburn Pinot Noir I stared at the highlighter orange spiral worn on a WORLD design. It was not something I’d wear to work but it would make anyone stand out in any crowd.

Congratulations and thank you to all involved in making the 15th iD Dunedin Fashion Show happen and stand out as an exciting and professional event which puts Dunedin in the fashion spotlight each year.
