From Nights, 10:17 pm on 13 September 2024

A new fashion week has risen from the ashes amidst New Zealand Fashion Week's cancelled plans this year and all all-around bleak climate for retail.

Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa, an event billed as "Tāmaki Makaurau's underground fashion week" is in the midst of its first multi-day event. 

Emile Donovan speaks with organisers Sophia Kwon, Billy Blamires and Nina Bailey.
