Te Wiki Āhua O Aotearoa is more than just another fashion week - it’s the pulse that keeps Auckland’s creativity brewing with fresh talent and voice to challenge and rewrite the norms of fashion.

If you thought local fashion was just glitz and glam, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Born from the desire to connect emerging talent, Āhua injects raw, unfiltered energy into the streams of mainstream fashion, transforming itself into a beacon for community, resilience and fearless self expression.

Āhua extends their invitation: experience an electric mix of runway shows, art exhibitions, live music, parties, creative workshops, and transparent discussion, for the bold and brave, from theirs truly. 

Ink meets art with bold designs! Āhua partners with Judgmentday Studio to help you make your mark, with exclusive signature designs from 10 talented artists across two days - feel the buzz and leave with something you can carry with you forever.

The party’s only getting started! Kicking off for the fourth time, Wozer gives us the blessing of Open Decks to help us discover new beats and emerging talent in Tāmaki Makaurau. Support, boogie or keep the set spinning with your own sound, let’s resurrect night life.

Get down and dirty, but make it cute and crafty. Layla of Sherbet Lemon spills her wisdom and love of lino printing, and will be sharing her exclusive prints from her SS25 and FW25 Collections ‘Precious’ and ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’ so you can add a little oomph to items sitting in your wardrobe.

Hear creativity run free with the minds behind the movement at a kōrero with featured designers. Learn about the process as they reflect on the journey, inspo and challenges faced leading up to the showcase of their collections, and the love and stories woven into their work.
