New Zealand Fashion Week: Back after pandemic hiatus

After three long years, Kiwi designers are set to hit the runway with the return of New Zealand Fashion Week.

Like so many events, the pandemic put paid to two shows  - in both cases just days out from when they were scheduled.

But from next Tuesday through to Saturday Auckland's Viaduct Events Centre will showcase a range of designers and events for all audiences.

Yasmin Farry is the event's general manager - she joins Kathryn to talk about what's on offer at this year's event.

Also joining the conversation is Juliette Hogan. She established her brand in 2004 and opened her first store in Ponsonby in 2007 - she now has five stores.

And James Bush, is a Wellington-based designer who spent years working in Paris, Brussels and London before launching his own fashion line in 2021.
