The Graduate Collections
As one of the most anticipated shows on the New Zealand Fashion Week schedule, this year's cohort of promising design stars are here to stake their claim as the next generation of fashion leaders.
Included in this thoughtful curation are the graduate collections from some of Aotearoa's leading fashion design schools: Whitecliffe, Massey University, and Otago Polytechnic.
Together Journal, 2025“Not just a showcase — a cultural moment.”
25 years. A legacy. Shaped by our community.
For a quarter of a century, New Zealand Fashion Week has championed Aotearoa fashion, bringing the community together to celebrate the creativity, craftsmanship and vision that define our industry.
This August, we honour everyone who has been part of the journey as we continue to define what comes next.
A celebration like New Zealand Fashion Week presented by Giltrap Group is only possible with the vision, commitment, and passion of our partners.
