The official announcement about next year’s Southern Trust ID Dunedin Fashion Week has arrived, as expected.
   As insiders know, the Southern Trust has taken over principal sponsorship of the event, after Vodafone felt its participation had run its course after 2007. And we’re glad the Trust has seen fit to support ID: it’s the premier South Island fashion event and does wonders for Dunedin’s community of designers.
   The next event will also see a largely new team for PR and event coordination. Annemarie Mains, who had been one of the main coordinators, retired from ID last year and Victoria Bunton, fresh from her success at Fashion on Q, takes on the mantle for Dunedin.
   The Emerging Designers’ Award will also continue for 2008.
   Of the main event, the organizers say there will be 25 designers:
