Wednesday night of the festival saw a tribe of black clad fashionistas arriving at Shed 10 ready to learn from the makeup maestros that are MAC Cosmetics. The technique seminar was titled 'On Trend' and explored some of the hottest runway looks which could then be practiced later at home.

Last week was the New Zealand Fashion Festival and because it coincided with the start of a new year at University the week was incredibly crazy, in the best possible way! I met so many people, got to help out at NZ Girl's stand for the Designer Garage Sale and even learnt some valuable pointers at the 2 seminars I attended, more on that shortly. It was a lot of fun and a fantastic opportunity for Auckland to embrace fashion in the mainstream.
