Kathryn Wilson NZFW 2011 – NZ’s Biggest Ever Public Fashion Show

Overview

In 2010, Kathryn Wilson garnered attention as the first footwear designer to hold a show at New Zealand Fashion Week, both an interesting concept and a refreshing contravene from the traditional apparel shows.

This year, in true Kathryn Wilson style, she will yet again be hosting a New Zealand Fashion Week first, in which she will be opening the doors to 3,000 guests to mark the final show of the week. Kimbra and recently announced, The Checks will also be performing as part of the show.

On Friday 2^nd September 2011, the public will be front row at fashion week as Kathryn Wilson invites fashion fans and the shoe-obsessed to party at the launch of her winter 2012 collection at New Zealand Fashion Week.

Acknowledging the need to embrace the fashion savvy, Kathryn says "Our customers use style, sophistication and trends to determine their way forward. It's exciting to be putting on a show for fashion lovers!"
