New Zealand Fashion Week is only five weeks away, and excitement is building with the release of the official designer line-up for 2017. Running from August 28 – September 3, this years’ event will see an impressive 86 local and international designers showcase their latest work on purpose-built runways.
“This year we are especially proud of the list we have put together,” NZFW Strategic Director and Founder Dame Pieter Stewart remarks. New faces including Wynn Hamlin and Rachel Mills will mingle with prominent provincial designers from Kate Sylvester and WORLD to Stolen Girlfriends Club and Juliette Hogan. In a special addition, NZFW 2017 will also celebrate three local brand’s birthdays; Huffer, Salasai and Tanya Carlson.
