Auckland city is the home of Air New Zealand Fashion Week 2006, which runs from 18 to 23 September at the Viaduct Harbour Marine Village. The event exposes and celebrates our unique culture to international media and buyers.

Auckland City acknowledges the economic, creative and dynamic contribution fashion and fashion designers make to Auckland and New Zealand. The council's sponsorship of Air New Zealand Fashion Week is a testament to Auckland City's commitment to supporting the growing fashion industry and the creative sector.

Auckland City is a longstanding supporter of the city's and the wider region's creative sector and has sponsored Air NZ Fashion Week since it began, stepping up last year to become a strategic partner.

Air New Zealand Fashion Week is aligned to the theme of artistic/creative in the Auckland City events strategy and represents a signature event which brings economic benefit and international profile to the city.
