Eye: Sabatini
By Janetta MacKay for The New Zealand Herald
It was a
strong turnout of insiders, family and friends and - being the first official
event on the NZFW schedule - there were plenty of TV faces too: Petra Bagust,

Longer
lengths may be ruling the international runways, but here the telly babes wore
