Kate Sylvester backstage before her RAFW Spring 2010 showNo big surprises at the New Zealand Fashion Week announcement this afternoon bar the inclusion of WORLD on-schedule and the notable absence of Kate Sylvester. Word from the Kate Sylvester camp was that they're not ruling out a runway appearance, they just haven't made up their minds yet. According to a source, Sylvester has been umming and aahing over whether to show for the past few weeks. Also announced, American red carpet specialist Nicole Miller will hold an onsite catwalk presentation. Miller is best known for dressing celebrities like Beyonce, Eva Longoria and Blake Lively and is the sole international designer showing at Fashion Week. Finally, to commemorate 10 years of New Zealand Fashion Week, the final show of the week will be a retrospective celebrating the past decade of New Zealand fashion. Oh, and one more for the road – Kathryn Wilson will present the first ever shoe-specific show in the event's history.

"Nicole Miller...is the sole international designer showing at Fashion Week"
So I guess Australia isn't international then.
Showing on the catwalk. You know what I mean.
Ellery not doing a show then? Aaw.
Claire Barker, Ellery, Fernando Frisoni, Megan Park, Mink Photography and Platina are all 'exhibition designers' not catwalk.
It's Celine Rita, not Celina!
Changed above. I just copied it from the press release. My bad.
I'm glad they upgraded from Pamela Anderson and Amuse. That was gross tbh.
Celebrations for the showing of twentysevennames! Love them.
NOMd should be listed as dunedin, who the hell wrote the press release!
when will it be known about kate sylvesters show?
There's a lesson to be learned from this – never copy and paste from a press release.
As for Kate Sylvester's show – we'll know when she decides either way, I guess.
I had been thinking about skipping NZFW this year as spending all day at the place just to view a few interesting items didn't seem to be worth my while. I've attended several times before and haven't been too terribly impressed with the majority of the designs on any occasion.
After seeing the lineup I'll indeed skip as it's just the usual suspects again. Yeah, there will be several designers' collections, whose shows I was looking forward to, that I will miss. However, I can just make an appointment and view them privately if I'm so inclined; That way I can just relax and enjoy the clothes without having to deal with snotty fashionistas - always a plus
Re: Anon @ 12.10am - 'Snotty Fashionistas' - explain please? Are they the high and mighty types who 'can just make appointments and view collections privately if so inclined'?
No, Katherine! I'm just well connected through absolutely no desire of my own! Jealous much? LOL
Well I would love to enjoy the clothes, 'snotty fashionistas' and all. Alas I am not well connected (despite strong desire of my own), so I will be following fashion week through Isaac and my usual blog roll.
I think the line up is good. Although I would love Kate Sylvester to show as I am really liking her recent stuff.
Bella, if you're really that keen I can probably slide a few day passes your way.
when i saw the list on their site i said to my partner "boring same-o same-o dont know if i will spend the $40 this year" then she took a look and asked " looks like almost everyone is there, who would you like to see?". i couldn't answer that maybe we're just been too critical this year cuz we've been able to see a lot of the internationals live on line. little NZ is pretty lucky to have a fashion week really.
