Fashion Calendar

The organisers of New Zealand Fashion Week, Pieter and Myken Stewart, will take a plunge in 2010 and host the first ever Auckland Autumn Fashion Festival in March.

In what will be the 10th year of the New Zealand Fashion Week trade event, held in September, the Stewarts are organising the fashion festival to capitalise on the huge growth of the public side of their event.

In 2006 Air New Zealand Fashion Week launched the 'Fashion Weekend', giving the public the opportunity to attend the event which had previously been widely publicised but normally out of bounds for Joe Public.  Fashion Festivals in cities such as Melbourne have for a long time been hugely popular, and this success also inspired the Auckland based event to kick off.

Off the back of Auckland Race Week in March, the Auckland Autumn Fashion Festival will aim to include group and solo fashion shows, designer after parties, fashion films, seminars (including top international fashion heads), wedding shows, garage sales, student shows, beauty events and more.
