Founder and director of CFBW Denyse Saunders says, “I am delighted at the level of interest in this week for all our events and most especially the Canterbury Collections. Clearly, due to its world class style of not only extraordinary fashion but also high class entertainment, it is a fashion show like no other in New Zealand. You would have to travel to Paris, Milan or New York to attend such an event. So I doubled the number of VIP tables, which all sold out within a couple of weeks, and I have just added my final 2 VIP tables that are currently available to purchase.

Ms Saunders says that this time CFBW is supporting the Look Good, Feel Better cancer foundation that assists women look and feel good about themselves as they go through their cancer treatment. Along with supporting the Christchurch North Zonta group that also supports women in need. The only area of concern, explains Ms Saunders, is not being able to attract a Naming Rights sponsor for this incredibly high profile week of fashion. Other events during the week include a Children's and Teens' Model Search, a free CFBW Makeover for one lucky lady, public voting awards and an invitation only Opening Cocktail Party.
