The 20th iD Fashion Show was wrapped up with a second event at the Regent Theatre on Saturday night after hundreds of attendees made the most of almost 40 fashion events during the past week. iD Dunedin Fashion Week co-chairwoman Margo Barton said consideration had been given to cancelling Saturday's show, after Friday's "hideous event'' in Christchurch, but police advice was there was no risk and sponsors and designers had wanted to make it a fundraiser. The first half of Saturday's event was given over to 16 New Zealand designers, and the second half to 25 emerging designers. While it was too early to confirm if the annual event had broken even or made a surplus, early in the week it had been "tracking towards financial success'', she said. Ms Redford's collection was described as having drawn upon her research into Maori culture, featuring vibrant colours and creative textures.
