ABOUT FUTURE OF FASHION SHOWCASE
The Future of Fashion Showcase is a curated selection of designers to watch out for. With three plus years in business, this selection of up-and-coming brands are redefining what a fashion brand of the future looks like.
As part of NZFW’s evolution, we've reimagined the Next Gen Show platform of previous years to create something with greater longevity - a refined concept that champions designers who are not just creatively driven, but commercially focused.
The Future of Fashion Showcase will highlight the emerging designers making waves in our industry.
This year's panel selectors include previous Next Gen finalist, Wellington-based designer James Bush, leading photographer Holly Sarah Burgess, New York-based New Zealand creative director, stylist and founder of Thistles Thistle Brown; and creative director, journalist and New Zealand Fashion Week board member Dan Ahwa.
This is an unmissable opportunity to stay ahead of the curve with New Zealand fashion's bright new names.
