That is just some of what is on the "to do" list of Vodafone ID Dunedin Fashion Week Event Co-ordinator Annemarie Mains.

Ms Mains says it is "non-stop" from now until 11 March 2007, and “we are busy making sure everything is in place and ready.”

New Zealand is ready to discover who might be the next international fashion designer at the Vodafone ID Dunedin Emerging Designer Awards, to be held on Friday 9 March 2007, one of the highlight events during Vodafone ID Dunedin Fashion Week (6-10 March 2007).

The panel of judges for the Vodafone ID Dunedin Emerging Designer Awards announced today by ID are fashion journalist Stacy Gregg, LINO Magazine Creative Director Rex Turnbull, fashion designers Tanya Carlson and Cybèle Wiren, and Stefano Sopelza of Mittelmoda.

ID Dunedin Chair Susie Staley says the calibre of judges indicates how important the Vodafone ID Dunedin Emerging Designer Awards are on the New Zealand and international fashion calendar.

New events during Vodafone ID Dunedin Fashion Week include off-site fashion shows, museum and art gallery exhibitions, fashion tours and film at the library, and an invite-only childrens fashion show.

Dunedin may seem an unconventional place to start a fashion career, yet it's a creative city plugged into a worldwide network of ideas and innovation – a remote outpost on the global fashion frontier.

The Vodafone ID Dunedin Fashion Week (6-10 March 2007) is New Zealand's fastest growing fashion week designed especially for the public.
