Sasha Miller shows off her style for the selection panel yesterday as she vies for a chance to walk the catwalk at this year's New Zealand Fashion Week.

She was among dozens of wannabe models lined up at The Carpenters Daughter headquarters, in Epsom, looking to model some of the brand's clothing.

Founded by Caroline Marr, The Carpenters Daughter is a six-store chain specialising in plus-size clothing for women, and yesterday's try-outs were for models who were size 16 and over.

New Zealand Fashion Week, which runs from September 21 to 25, will show off some of the country's best and upcoming fashion designs for this season.

The event will be held at the Viaduct Harbour Marine Village.
