International fashion model, presenter and actor Colin Mathura-Jeffree will be a judge at this year's Hastings Pak'nSave Edible Fashion Awards on June 13 in Hastings.
With more than 20 years' modelling experience for some of the world's top designers, as well as being a judge on New Zealand's Next Top Model and host of New Zealand's Hottest Home Baker, Mathura-Jeffree will bring a wealth of experience, charisma and style to the Edible Fashion Awards judging panel.
"I have an incredible appetite for food and fashion ... if you're combining both then for the sake of the show don't hand me chopsticks - I'll bring my own," says Mathura-Jeffree, who describes the event as "utterly delicious".
He will join local artist and World of Wearable Art Supreme Award winner Kate Mackenzie on the judging panel, alongside award-winning photographer Chris Sisarich.
Event manager Joanna Smith says: "It is absolutely amazing - we are seriously excited to have such a high profile fashion icon judging at this year's awards. No one would know much more about fashion, creativity and style than Colin.
