Dunedin's Silkbody to Debut at Fashion Week

Dunedins Silkbody to Debut at Fashion Week
Dunedin-based Silkbody is bringing their innovative brand to Auckland for its first appearance at New Zealand Fashion Week, building on the company's growing reputation and industry buzz.

Silkbody Managing Director Emily Cooper says Fashion Week will be a fantastic opportunity to present the range to top international buyers and media at a time when they are expanding strongly into the export and fashion market.

The new Winter 2006 range will be launched at the event, with exciting new styles, colours and product ranges for both men and women.

The innovative use of the silk fibre and its unique properties are a central factor behind the success of the Silkbody brand, which has taken the lead in bringing silk into a modern fashion context in New Zealand and Australia.

This will be the first time Silkbody has attended a fashion industry event in New Zealand since its launch in 2002.

The range was initially produced for the outdoor market, however, Silkbody has since evolved into a range of everyday luxury essential garments, says Ms Cooper.
