Backstage at the Christchurch Spring Fashion Festival on 35mm Film

Grainy, chaotic, magic – Just how we like it.

Captured through the nostalgic lens of 35mm film, photographer Meg Suthridge (@megelizabethweddings) takes us behind the scenes of The New Guard show presented by The Iconic at the Christchurch Spring Fashion Festival – a celebration of fresh talent and emerging voices in Aotearoa fashion.

From the quiet moments of pre-show prep to the adrenaline of the runway, these intimate frames bring the energy, artistry, and anticipation of backstage to life in timeless detail.
