"We were so impressed by the number of international finalists in the Emerging Designer Awards show, and that iD Dunedin has been able to host this incredible fashion competition. The Awards show was very professionally run with models fitting international standards. Behind the scenes, the judging process was the best we’ve ever been involved with. It’s an amazing feat to run a fashion show at a railway station and Andrew and I loved the concept of the runway, it’s a fabulous feature of the iD Fashion Show. Thank you Dunedin - we’ve had an overwhelming reception here".
