Not all agree with the cancellation of this year's New Zealand Fashion Week.
Event organisers pulled the pin after financial pressures on the industry and made it a bi-annual event, starting from next year.
Fashion PR agency Showroom 22 director Murray Bevan says he feels a midway point could've been reached.
"When the chips are down, sometimes you double down on how hard you pushed to pull out of those troughs. And Fashion Week is a massive branding and marketing exercise for designers, so it's a shame that it's gone completely."
