The return of now-established designers to the sho
The return of now-established designers to the show they helped shape over a decade ago, the international presence and the participation by special iD Dunedin Fashion Week guests spun a rich story for the packed houses at the Dunedin Railway Station on Friday and Saturday nights.
And full marks to the Ali McD models, who in higher-than-ever heels carried out their long walks along the 110m catwalk with assured grace.

Tanya Carlson opened the show and, with the cool confidence of a seasoned trooper, she presented the garments of her "Rue des Germaine" collection, pared down and uncluttered for a pure Carlson experience.
The bright pinks
prom dresses 2011, vibrant teal and sienna were set perfectly against a backdrop of gentle grey and navy. Signature Carlson was there
grad dresses 2011, too, in subtly ######y velvet and the strong classic lines of the pink Grace coat and the figure-skimming Zoe dress. She lives in Auckland now; it's always good to have her back.
Adding mystique, as always, was the styling of the Nom*D garments and what must be a landmark collection hit the catwalk loaded with black hats and attitude. "Danse Macabre" showcased a sonorous balance of wovens and winter knitwear.
A striking white outfit provided an ethereal opening for a collection of mainly blacks
plus size prom dresse 2011, greys and metallics. Military overtones were seen in sequinned sleeved T-shirts, over-sized singlets and cleverly constructed vests and jackets. Colour dashes were courtesy of navy and purple plaids.
An iD show initiate, Auckland shoe designer Kathryn Wilson delivered with a step-by-step tour of her fabulous footwear world. The shoes, ankle boots and knee boots were high and often platform in lush suede, fuchsia, Dijon mustard and delightful patterns, brought along the runway by models in body suits to maintain foot focus. Attention did stray when grabbed by Boh Runga's jewellery
ball gown dresses!
This year Mild Red left most colour behind
cheap grad dresses, Donna Tulloch concentrating on the dark side for her strong Black Knight collection. Bringing together knitwear and wovens she created an intriguing story around jackets
cheap Cocktail dresses, vests, bags, trousers and chain-mail that whispered of King Arthur's court in modern mode.
Hoods replaced scarves, chain-mail-style mesh bags swung from hips and draped burn-out velvets created a contrast to the heavier wools
Bridesmaid dresses, cottons and oilcloth finishes.
Charmaine Reveley's "Night Garden" was a concentration of blacks, smoke grey and soft dove for surely the established designer's most scintillating or - in her words - "grown-up" - collection yet. Her love of lace, silk and georgette showed particularly in a sensual silk georgette fabric featuring clusters of hand-embroidered sequins, custom-designed for "Night Garden".
A bow print dress and top gave a nod to her inherent respect of the printing process - and her sustained flair. Warm belted jackets and a chunky knit jersey acknowledged colder days ahead.
Anjali Stewart and Rachel Easting brought preppy style to the catwalk with their twenty-seven names "Fearsome Five" collection. Girlie dresses - pleated, gathered and frilled - were juxtaposed with striped cropped blazers
cheap Formal dresses, complete with crests and white trim. Pretty printed velvet dresses were another salute to their youth.
Her directional 2011 collection "Strangelove" saw Sarah Aspinall move seamlessly between femininity and androgony. Her mix of soft dresses and shirts with staunch vests, cropped tuxedo jackets and panelled leggings reinforced that free-wheeling style of her Company of Strangers label. An exuberant array of her leather bags and jewellery showed her versatility.
The magic of beautiful fabrics and refined design was brought home by the the collection of international guest and globally revered designer Akira Osogawa, of Sydney. His exquisite pieces captured his mastery of translating fabrics into soft
Cocktail dresses, figure-enhancing silhouettes. The originality of his embellishments - which often, incidentally, include his wok-fried sequins - are also a signature.
