Trelise Cooper is just one fashion label that will be showcased at the Britormart Fashion Sessions this weekend.

Fashion, football and the last of the Auckland Arts Festival - If you are stuck for something to do this weekend we have got you covered.

The Britomart Fashion Sessions

Time to put your best foot forward because the Britomart Fashions sessions return this Friday for a full weekend of creativity and opulence.

Showcasing the 2015 Autumn/Winter collections from familiar designers and labels like Zambesi, WORLD, Kathryn Wilson, Trelise Cooper, Taylor and others, the shows will be held at Britomart's Atrium on Takutai in association with Westpac.

Unlike many other fashion shows, every garment that hits the catwalk during Britomart Fashion Sessions will be from the designers' current season.
