New Zealand Fashion Week, also known as NZ Fashion Week or NZFW, is an annual Fashion Week held in New Zealand.
New Zealand Fashion Week held its first show on 23 October 2001, opened by the prime minister at the time, Helen Clark. It was held at the Auckland Town Hall and sponsored by L'Oreal (the event was called L'Oreal New Zealand Fashion Week until 2004). [1]
In 2004, Air New Zealand replaced L'Oreal as the naming rights sponsor of the event and the new main venue was moved to the Alinghi and Team New Zealand sheds at the Viaduct Harbour in Auckland. [1]
In 2009, Air New Zealand dropped its naming rights sponsorship for the show. [2]
In 2014, the event moved to the Viaduct Events Centre. [1]
In 2019, NZFW moved back to the original venue at the Auckland Town Hall. [3]
Dame Pieter Stewart, founder of the event, sold it to Faroz Ali in May 2021. [4] [5]
The 2020, 2021 & 2022 fashion weeks were all cancelled. In 2020, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and postponed until 2021, which was later cancelled. The 2022 show was also cancelled. [4]

Christmas traditions in New Zealand—like those in Australia—incorporate traditional Christian, British and North American Christmas traditions, including biblical and winter iconography, as well as modern and local customs. As New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere, the holiday falls during the summer months, so it is often celebrated outdoors with barbeques, picnics, and trips to the beach. New Zealand Christmas dishes include summer fruits and vegetables, a variety of locally-produced meats and seafood, and pavlova dessert. Pōhutukawa are displayed as well as the traditional Northern European tree. Christian church celebrations are held on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with carols and hymns sung in both English and Māori.
