If you can get along to any of the Four Days of Fashion in the City next week in Auckland then I am very jealous! It sounds like a great round-up of catwalk shows, talks, exhibitions, music and food, and unfortunately I am out of the country for the majority of it!!
From March 29th until April 1st this event pulls together a schedule of exciting live performances, runway shows, installations and events that bring fashion to the streets. There are over 25 events on the full calendar for the four days with the precincts of Britomart, High Street, Queen Street and Wynyard Quarter all taking part in the fashionable fun. I have narrowed down my top picks below:

The ever-popular Britomart Fashion Sessions return and kick off with a sit-down lunch with designers Juliette Hogan and Kathryn Wilson, that will be sure to feature a fascinating conversation on business, motherhood and future plans.
The next event is aimed at men (which hardly any fashion events are) with RJB Design hosting an evening of whiskey and cigars while they present their new collection and offer grooming tips for the man who is keen to look more dapper.
Thursday night will see Zambesi, Kate Sylvester and WORLD take to the runway on Tyler St under a marquee for what will be an fabulous group show.
On Friday Huffer will be offering an in-store ‘Winter Warm Up’ with drink, food, and a showing of their latest collection. Later on Friday, Trelise Cooper will present a grand scale, open air show across Takutai Square which will no doubt be a show-stopper.
On Saturday taylor will feature an imaginative installation that presents a clever behind-the-scenes approach to fashion with their special show on three times throughout the day. Fabric will also be presenting a wonderful vintage market with curator Simon Miller offering specialty Japanese denim pieces and other one-off finds for display with many also available for sale.
If you love fashion and fancy a day or night with a girlfriend in the city, then I would definitely recommend attending one of the Fashion Sessions.
