Menswear in New Zealand is having a moment. Once defined by tradition, it’s now a space of creative experimentation, cultural commentary, and global ambition.
Join Josh Heares (Porter James Sports), Mike Beagley (Rodd & Gunn), and Des Rusk (Long Form) as they explore how menswear designers are redefining masculinity, building cult followings, and carving out cultural capital at home and abroad.
From evolving style codes to the commercial realities of the industry, this is a rare conversation on what it means to create menswear in Aotearoa right now, and where it’s headed next.
There is also an opportunity for a meet and greet with Special guests Giltrap Group Motorsport Racers: Marco Giltrap (Porsche Carrera Cup Australia), Clay Osborne (Porsche Carrera Cup Australia) & Liam Sceats (Indy NXT). The Porsche 922 Cup Car will also be on display
