Three stalwarts of New Zealand Fashion Week hit the catwalks yesterday: long-standing designers Zambesi and Kate Sylvester - and a bunch of All Blacks in their undies.
Sportspeople in their smalls has become a tradition at the Jockey underwear show, which also featured Black Ferns Amy du Plessis and Alana Bremner and a diverse cast of models. At least one former All Black - Ali Williams - was in the audience.
Lesser-known brands (with more covered-up models) showing yesterday included LIPO, Bantu, J. Bush and Kaistor St.
