Zambesi will headline an impressive line-up including Andrea Moore, Ellen Mann, Giao, Mandatory, Nicola Screen, Plush, Ricochet, Robyn Mathieson, Starfish, Voon, and Zana Feuchs. Emerging designers will be showcased in a variety of innovative events.
Shopping arcades come to the party to celebrate spring in style throughout the Festival.
Capital on the Quay, Harbour City Centre and the Old Bank Arcade are all holding free lunchtime catwalk shows featuring the best of their designer stores. The Majestic Tower will host the Glamour Chase 2001 on the Thursday evening which is set to be a dramatic multimedia event. And while the focus will be on fashion, Wellington s profile as the arts capital won t go unnoticed with arts exhibits and events adding to the festive flavour. Winding up the Festival on the Sunday, a series of hosted tour around Wellington s designer stores will be the perfect opportunity to try on the outfits spotted on the catwalks over the previous days. The Wellington Fashion Festival programme will be launched at a mayoral reception on Tuesday 21 August.
