All Blacks and TV stars strut their stuff on the catwalk

  • 30/03/2017

Some of New Zealand's hottest men and one woman suited up for Working Style's 30th birthday celebrations last night. 

There were more than 700 people at Shed 10 for the event, which celebrated the launch of the brand's autumn/winter season range. 

All Blacks Sam Cane and Aaron Cruden, Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale and Olympic cyclist Sam Webster were just some of the models who swapped their sports kit for suits, walking the catwalk in front of the crowds. 

For Warrior Shaun Johnson, the experience "pushed the boundaries" of his comfort zone. 

 "You're used to working in a team...it was a fun experience [and] we laughed but I'll be definitely sticking to footy". 

Three's own Mike McRoberts found his first catwalk experience "absolutely terrifying".

"I managed to keep one foot in front of the other so it was okay."

He said he had been practising his best "blue steel" for the occasion. 

But in the array of men, it was Silver Fern Maria Tutaia's appearance which stole the show at the end.

She said modelling didn't come easy to her. 

"We always want to put ourselves out of our comfort zone and this was totally, totally out of our comfort zone," she told Newshub.
