Are kiwis uninterested in New Zealand Fashion?

New Zealand Fashion Week has been cancelled this August and has decided to shift into a two-yearly schedule.

Owner Feroz Ali says there weren't enough designers to commit to the weeklong event because they're focused on the survival of their businesses.

Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young told Mike Hosking that it's not that people don't want to buy local.

She says the biggest factor is that people don't have disposable income to spend on discretionary items.
