Corbans Fashion Collections (1994)

Corbans Fashion Collections was a live event and TV special staged annually in the 1990s, where local fashion houses showcased their upcoming collections. Pieter Stewart produced the live show; later she launched NZ Fashion Week. In this 1994 event, Shortland Street stars are dotted along the front row, and Alison Mau, Paula Ryan and designers offer their thoughts on the dress code. Grunge doesn’t appear to have impacted on the à la mode pastel styles, but Zambesi and NOM*d bring a darker contrast. Among the models is former NZ On Screen editor Paul Stanley Ward, channelling Zoolander as a teenage model.

Every year designers from New Zealand's leading fashion houses launch their spring and summer collections at an event hosted by Corbans Wines.
