AIR NEW ZEALAND FASHION WEEK 2006
New labels, more shows and Air New Zealand Fashion Week 4 U!
New Zealand’s cream of fashion design talent has made the cut for Air New Zealand Fashion Week 2006, with more shows on the schedule than ever before.
This year’s schedule will feature 59 labels and 29 individual shows, plus the Deutz Fashion Design Ambassador Awards and the AUT Rookie Show, featuring the graduates from the Auckland University of Technology’s Design School.
The impact of what the event has done to focus the New Zealand fashion industry and build credibility for the designers is reflected in the bumper line-up of new and established designers, who will show their Winter 2007 collections at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour Marine Village from 18-23 September 2006.
Founder and Managing Director, Pieter Stewart announced the 2006 designers and labels scheduled to show at Air New Zealand Fashion Week at a media conference at the Hilton Hotel in Auckland this morning (25 July). (Please note: changes may be made to this list prior to the release of the provisional show schedule in late August).

About Air New Zealand Fashion Week
Air New Zealand Fashion Week is a business focused on growing New Zealand’s fashion export credentials and serves the best interests of every aspect of the fashion industry. Culminating in a week long showcase for New Zealand fashion designers at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour Marine Village, the 2006 event will also include a public access day, ANZFW 4 U, in celebration of New Zealand fashion, art and music. |

New September date for Air New Zealand Fashion Week
Timing of premier fashion event moves forward to September date in 2006.
Air New Zealand Fashion Week will be held earlier in 2006 with the collections from New Zealand’s leading designers on show from September 19-22, 2006 at Auckland’s Viaduct Marine Harbour Village.
Managing Director Pieter Stewart has announced the move in dates as part of the strategic development around the future of the event.
Mrs Stewart sees the change in date as vital for the continued growth of the collections as an export driven platform for New Zealand fashion.
“Having canvassed a wide variety of international buyers, agents and media, as well as our designers, we have concluded the current timing of the event at the end of October is no longer conducive to maximising sales and profile in our target markets,” she says.
With most designers now selling prior to the October date, information indicates most opportunities for increased sales are during the last two weeks in September, not only in terms of attracting delegates from these markets but also to ensure the best window for buyers from Australia.
In 2006, the opening night will be Monday 18th September with the trade show running from Tuesday 19th to Friday 22nd September. |
