Now, in partnership with Coney Stanley Events we have created an exciting event that invites the public to experience a fantastic NZFW show and VIP hosting package and allows leading designers to showcase their talents direct to potential customers,” Stewart added.

Tickets for the VIP lunch are on sale and available for purchase through Julie Coney at coneystanleyEvents.

The package includes welcome drinks and canapés, a two-course lunch with delicious wines served to guests’ tables, which will all be situated adjacent to the catwalk.
