New Zealand Fashion Week is about to get underway in Auckland. 

The event, which starts today, is a week of catwalks, displays and style hosted on Auckland's waterfront. 

The owner of the event Feroz Ali told Mike Hosking that he hopes people will still be spending at the event despite the Cost of Living crisis. 

'The ability for people to go and consume and buy stuff, becomes a little harder during tough economic times...but the industry is resilient.'
