Next week is NZ Fashion Week. The designs above are a sample of what will be on show.

The NZ fashion industry has gained attention and critical acclaim internationally. Their look is in demand and our designers are recognised overseas. The industry enjoys a huge depth of talent and success. NZ is known for its new innovative designs and fine attention to detail.

The focus is on wearability rather than clothes that look great but hamper ease of movement. Natural fabrics that allow breathability are prefered and zips, buttons, wraps and ties that allow freedom of movement feature readily. Meticulous attention to detail and perfection in tailoring is also commonplace.

Some of NZ's top designers include Karen Walker, Andrea Moore, Annah Stretton, Trelise Cooper, Tanya Carlson, Caroline Moore, Barbara Lee, Untouched World, Kate Sylvester, Liz Mitchelle, NomD, World, Zambesi and many more.
