Sara Tetro - Host and Judge

When did your interest in fashion start?
It started quite late really, probably not until my late teens. Although, I am sure my mum would argue that I had been difficult to dress before then.

What inspired you to become part of the fashion industry?
I got into the fashion industry via an accidental job offer.

If you could raid anyone's wardrobe - whose would it be and why?
I would have to raid so many, but namely the wardrobes of Emmanuelle Alt, Alexa Chung and Giovanna Battaglia.

Who is your favourite international designer?
This changes all the time but my current favourites are Givenchy under the helm of Ricardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Christopher Kane – it is honestly too hard to pick a favourite.

Who is your favourite NZ designer?
I can’t chose a favourite – I like a lot of them and wear NZ designers all the time.

What does every woman need in her wardrobe?
Ever woman needs that one fail safe outfit that you always feel good in.

What fashion item can't you live without?
This changes but for winter I am loving my Rick Owens boots I bought in Dunedin and my Ray-Bans.
