New Zealand Fashion Week's planning to come back bigger and stronger next year. 

It's had to cancel this year's event and shift to a two-yearly showcase due to a lack of designers. 

Owner Fehroz Ali said they've responded to feedback from designers who say they don't have the financial resources for it. 

But, he told Mike Hosking, they will give it everything they have to ensure its back next year. 

Ali hopes the show's international and New Zealand partners, like Air New Zealand, will continue to support them to make sure it's successful.
