New Zealand Eco Fashion Week set for Hutt
City
New Zealand’s only eco fashion designer runway event is set to be held in Lower Hutt from 9-13 June 2015.
This year’s showcase of sustainable, ethical and cutting edge fashion, from New Zealand and abroad, is expected to be the biggest yet.
Event Director Denise Anglesey says, “This event is sure to capture the imagination, with a perfect fusion of style and innovation to bring ethical products to the forefront of fashion.”
“We’ve received queries from across the globe, and are thrilled with early interest from designers. Local brands Dane Dagger and Heke Design are joining us for a third year along with newcomers Recreate.”
Since its inception in 2013, international interest has sparked an expansion to a full four-day schedule—including two runway shows, styling events, an exclusive movie screening and pop-up shops.
Event Director Denise Anglesey is excited to offer a comprehensive schedule for the event.
“We are working towards a comprehensive calendar and a pretty impressive line-up,” she says.
This year’s event provides the opportunity for established designers to showcase their collections under the ethical spotlight, along with categories for new and student designers, and eco-related businesses and organisations.
The full line up is expected to be announced early May.
