A new chapter for fashion in Aotearoa.
Christchurch Spring Fashion Festival is a new addition to the New Zealand Fashion Week portfolio, bringing a fresh, accessible fashion experience to the South Island.
Set in the heart of Ōtautahi, the festival celebrates New Zealand designers, retailers and creative talent through a dynamic programme of runway shows, events and city-wide activations. Designed to connect fashion with community, the festival offers a more open and inclusive way to experience the industry, welcoming both fashion insiders and the wider public.
“A very stylish city” – fashion week comes to Christchurch for the first time.
The Press, 2025
Launched in 2025, the inaugural Christchurch Spring Fashion Festival marked a significant moment for fashion in the region. The event brought together designers, retailers, media and audiences for a week of energy, creativity and connection.
Runway shows showcased a mix of established and emerging New Zealand talent, while the wider programme created opportunities for audiences to engage with fashion in new and unexpected ways. From strong attendance to an enthusiastic local response, the festival quickly established itself as a key cultural moment in Christchurch’s spring calendar.
Christchurch Spring Fashion Festival will return in 2026, building on the momentum of its inaugural year.
With an expanded programme and new opportunities for designers, partners and audiences, the next edition will continue to grow its presence as a must-attend event in Aotearoa’s fashion calendar.
Dates will be announced soon.
