The much anticipated annual Westfield Style Pasifika fashion extravaganza is set to flow down the catwalk tonight at Auckland’s Vector Arena. The show features 85 garments selected from hundreds of submissions. The Pasifika-inspired designs are judged in several categories including evening, bridal, urban streetwear, traditionally-inspired, parent and child, body art, Pasifika Hero, Asia-Pasifika, and men’s wear. Westfield Style Pasifika is a two hour entertainment spectacle of traditional and contemporary fashion, dance and music. It is intended to reflect Pacific mana: strength, respect and pride. The show begins at 7.30 pm, Friday 4 September, 2009.
