This weekend was Part Two of the Chinese New Year celebrations in Wellington. Part One took place last Sunday at Civic Square. This weekend being the bigger of the two saw festivities on both Saturday and Sunday.Following the CNY tradition of wearing new clothes for new years, Saturday was the "New Clothes For The New Year" show (fashion, music, and dance performances), held down at Queen's Wharf on the waterfront. Among the designers this year was Sophie Voon who had two runway shows, one for her regular collection and another for her bridal collection. Apparently she's well known for her custom made bridal dresses.
All of the models were volunteers and you may even recognize some of them as dancers in the other pics. I don't usually associate bridal wear with CNY, but I guess if you're going to put on a show, you might as well show what you're good at.
