It’s time to secure your place at New Zealand’s most fashionable event to experience all the hype, fun and style that New Zealand Fashion Weekend has to offer.
Featuring the best the industry has to offer, Fashion Weekend will be home to a mix of shows and activity offering a glimpse at the latest trends, styles and ranges from some of New Zealand’s most loved brands.
“NZ Fashion Weekend is always an exciting and fun experience for those that attend. It offers everyone the chance to be a part of the industry over a few fashion-packed days,” says NZFW founder and managing director Dame Pieter Stewart.
“Following the hiatus last year due to COVID-19, we anticipate demand for NZ Fashion Weekend tickets will be at an all-time high as fashion lovers race to get their chance to grab a piece of the latest styles, trends and labels.”
The runway begins at 10am on Saturday with Miss Kanorau NZ who has partnered with NZFW 2019 Emerging Designer MALLO {Mal-yo} to present beautiful couture designs from this up and coming brand. You’ll be treated to a 30-minute show, with the beautiful Miss Kanorau contestants showcasing these couture masterpieces.
TUESDAY as well as the Wedding Fair Show will feature in Saturday morning’s line-up.
Saturday afternoon is fashion-filed with three not to be missed shows on the runway.
Augustine will once again be bringing all of the colour and fun to NZFW weekend at 2.30pm. Showing five labels amongst dancers, singers and glitter, the summer collections will come to life on the catwalk with all the usual colour, print, sparkle and unique styling that makes Augustine so loved.
Serving up showstoppers from all designers on the New Zealand Fashion Week trade schedule, the 4.30pm Resene Designer Runway is a high-energy, 30-minute fashion feast for the senses. Providing a spectacular overview of the best of New Zealand fashion, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to preview in-season pieces. The show opens with a bright display of colourful looks from the Resene NZ Fashion Tech Colour of Fashion student design collection.
And if you miss the Saturday afternoon slot, the Resene Designer Runway is set to do it all again on Sunday.
Home to more than 50 NZ and International Designer stores, The Ponsonby Business Association is proud to showcase stunning collections from Muse, Carlson, Jason Lingard and Scotties Recycle Boutique, offering an inclusive, diverse and dynamic show with beautiful, must-have garments and new season inspiration. The #loveponsonby presents: Muse, Carlson, Jason Lingard and Scotties Recycle is on the runway at 6pm.
Saturday night ends with the highly anticipated Caci Presents: 20 Year NZFW Retrospective Showcase which celebrates the 20th anniversary of New Zealand Fashion Week in style. The show will take you on a journey through a part of New Zealand’s rich fashion history, combining moments from your favourite collections and finale show stoppers from over the years – you won’t see current season pieces anywhere in this show.
Designers will be digging through their archives to find their best pieces and putting them back onto the runway, so you can expect to see dozens of your favourite designers and their top pieces from the past twenty years.
Featuring the A - Z of NZ fashion designers including Kate Sylvester, Hailwood, Trelise Cooper, Yvonne Bennetti, Wynn Hamlin, Kathryn Wilson, Nick Von K, and lots lots more. We have packed the runway with all the glitter and glam you have come to love, know, and expect from your favourite New Zealand designers. Watch the runway for the limited edition archive pieces that are back in stock with a 2021 twist!
The Sunday schedule for this year’s NZ Fashion Weekend is no less action-packed with the run for youth, by youth YMCA’s Walk the Line show at 9.30am. The ‘Walk the Line’ fashion show is a fantastic opportunity for the future stars of the New Zealand fashion industry to make their mark on a world stage, before they’ve even left high school.
Every garment shown at ‘Walk the Line’ has been designed, sewn and styled by high school students aged between thirteen and eighteen, and the show is managed solely by the YMCA North Shore Raise Up Crew, who facilitate, produce and direct the show.
PIA will also be part of Sunday’s line up along with the CLQ, NZFW Kids Show, Mercy Hospice, the Schick Men’s Show.
