New trends and threads from some of the country's top designers were strutted down the catwalk last night at New Zealand's Fashion Festival.

Sponsored by Viva, the annual fashion extravaganza features collections from New Zealand's well-loved labels as well as up-and-coming designers.

Last night's runway showcase at Shed 10 on Queen's Wharf featured clothing from Cybele, Trelise Cooper, Celine Rita and Taylor Boutique.

The festival's shows and events are running up until Sunday, the final day of the Designer Garage Sale.

The annual 10-day festival is a celebration of New Zealand's creative talent and over the years it has become a fixture on the local fashion scene.
