It’s back — after a two-year pause, New Zealand Fashion Week Kahuria makes its long-awaited return to Auckland’s waterfront. The energy is already shifting; designers, stylists, media, and the fashion-adjacent.
This year we also have a new venue — Shed 10 and beyond for six days of shows, installations, and reunions. This year feels like both a reset and a revival — a moment where legacy names like Karen Walker and Zambesi share space with new voices, and the culture around our runways matters as much as the clothes themselves. For our mini Saucettes, Sonnie takes the stage on Saturday at 12 noon — a family-friendly show that’s all about sparking imagination and celebrating young creative souls.
From the archives to the off-site debuts, NZFW is where the threads of past, present, and future knot together — sometimes neatly, sometimes not, but always with that particular mix of ambition and intimacy that belongs only to Aotearoa ✨❤️🔥
We’ve compiled a list of 13 shows, presentations and a very cool clothing swap. Ps note - most of these events are invitation only or sold out but a few tickets are still available. Or you can sit back and follow us here for daily updates through the week with insider access backstage ✨
