Fashion Week: Boshier smokes up catwalk (+pics)
Relevant offers
Designer Lucie Boshier warned people to prepare for chaos at Air New Zealand Fashion Week, and the controversial Kiwi designer certainly delivered.
With models writhing on the catwalk, girls in champagne glasses and paper money being flung at the crowd, Boshier stunned the crowded audience at her first Fashion Week show.
Taking her cue from the Liza Minelli movie Caberet, Boshier sent girls down the runway in over-the-top, lingerie-inspired outfits.
There were bustiers worn with sparkly leggings, slinky dresses in watercolour prints, and loungewear-style cover-ups.
Boshier's curvy models enjoyed the show immensely, which was closed in controversial style by a drag queen lighting up a cigarette and smoking it on stage.

its really good to finally see a designer that uses 'real' women on stage, just a shame others are still using size 0 models around the world.
