NZFW 13 Designers Announced

The eagerly awaited New Zealand Fashion Week designer line-up was finally released yesterday, Sunday 11th August for the upcoming fashion festival and weekend. Only three weeks away, this years fashion week has had an overhaul and stepped up to the plate with some significant international names to top off the list.

This years fashion week is shorter, with only three days of trade and media shows and events, followed by a few days of consumer-driven events. 53 designers make up a combination of the entire week, some of which combining into group shows such as the NZ Weddings show. A number of smaller, edgier labels have made their way in, which will hopefully bring attention to fresh talent from around the country.

This years designers are as follows:
