An Evening at Bistro Saine

Monday, 30 March, 2026.

On a Monday evening in late March, a room full of people with a shared interest in what New Zealand fashion can become gathered at Bistro Saine, hosted by Hotel Indigo Auckland.

Partners and friends of NZFW were invited for an intimate preview of what 2026 holds. Over drinks and canapés, Executive Director Liam Taylor outlined the direction, and Partnerships Lead Tatum Savage walked through the opportunities ahead.

The picture that emerged was clear: a week that extends well beyond the runway, with more to experience across the city and more ways to be part of the event.

It was an early look at something still taking shape, and the energy in the room reflected that. New ideas, shared intent, and a growing collective of brands and partners getting behind what NZFW is building.

In the coming weeks, we'll be introducing the partners helping bring the 2026 event to life.

If you're a brand or potential partner looking to be part of what's next, now is the moment. Get in touch with Tatum Savage at tatum@nzfashionweek.com
