It hasn't been the greatest year for the local fashion industry.
This year's New Zealand Fashion Week was cancelled, and two of the country's big designers, Kate Sylvester and Trelise Cooper, announced their respective closure and departure.
But down south, it's a different story. WoolOn is a fashion event dedicated to New Zealand's iconic fibre.
It's been running for 20 years - the main rule being, that all garments entered must be 75 per cent wool. Joining Kathryn to discuss WoolOn is first-time event judge, but industry stalwart Margi Robertson, of Dunedin's Nom*d and last year's Supreme winner, Jane Avery, whose Lapin label specialises in rabbit and possum eco-fur.
