 Benson and Hedges Fashion Design Awards

Series Synopsis

The Benson and Hedges Fashion Design Awards were the big fashion event of the year from the late 70s through to the 90s. The annual live show was organised by model turned agent Maysie Bestall-Cohen, and TVNZ produced the TV version. The first special screened in 1978, and the last in 1998, though the show went into recess for a few years in the early 80s. In the later 90s the show was known as the Smokefree Fashion Design Awards (when tobacco company sponsorships were outlawed).
