1 Opening Fashion Week on Tuesday morning, Twenty-seven Names surprised everyone (and shocked those who'd just had a fresh blow wave especially for the occasion) by asking the audience to head to the carpark outside for their show - which happened in light drizzle.
2 The foundations of Stolen GirlfriendsClub are a little bit rock 'n' roll, so it's fitting the brand's 10th birthday show featured a stage dive. In the show, held on the St James Theatre stage, model Derya Parlak went head first into the crowd wearing a mock band shirt, much to the audience's delight.

3 Real life comes to the runway: the marriage proposal on the catwalk at the Miromoda show between designers Hohepa Thompson and Mia Brennan who met at the event three years ago. Genuine, not staged and cheesy.
4 Held off-site in a carpark, Ruby's Thursday night show was made even better by a enthusiastic performance from comedian Chris Parker and the Dynamotion dance crew, who successfully poked fun at and amped up the fashion crowd. Their confused yet delighted look was priceless.
