Day four of New Zealand Fashion Week saw an incredible range of talent from the Miramoda Showcase. The Indigenous Māori Fashion Apparel Board (IMFAB) was founded as an organisation instituted to advance the quality status of Māori fashion design and to raise its artistic and professional standards. Each year New Zealand Fashion Week showcases these designers and their collections.
A small selection of the serious talent and craftsmanship that was shown on the runway:

Trelise Cooper started the evening with a bang - rainbow holograph being the theme for the evening. It was safe to say, that walking into the venue, there was a definite buzz about what the show might entail.
The runway was lined down the centre with rainbow curtains that changed colours with the lighting design - an interesting visual detail to add to the multilayered designs within the collections. A live DJ set started the onslaught of Trelises's Model Army showcasing over 65 incredibly detailed looks.
Big hair is back and better than ever in the Trelise show - Hair Direction: Grant Betjemann and Sasha Lenski – L’Oréal Professionnel Ambassadors and the make up looks were 60's inspired retro disco glam by Liz Hyun for Mac.
