Story

NEW ZEALAND ECO FASHION WEEK

Eco & Ethical Fashion Runway

In association with Hutt Winter Festival 2019

Lower Hutt

New Zealand

In association with Hutt Winter Festival, NZ Eco Fashion is proud to announce a one evening Eco Ethical + Upcycled Challenge Runway Show for the Opening Night of the Hutt Winter Festival on the 15 August 2019 and to be held at the Lower Hutt Town Hall starting from 7pm.

The one evening Eco Fashion Runway is a down-scaled version of NZ Eco Fashion Week 2014, 2015. Utilising materials and production methods that are deliberately sustainable, ethical, and environmentally friendly, eco fashion has become increasingly popular and no longer a niche market, but well used and promoted extensively across the fashion industry. Featuring designers from around New Zealand, as well as several locally based designers, the one evening runway aims to include the following aspects.

1. Seeks to promote Eco Fashion options and make them more accessible to the local public including Eco, Ethical, Up-cycled, Up-styled Thrift, Locally Produced and to promote home sewing and the reuse of garments headed to landfill.

2. Aims to include local talent including models, hair dressers, makeup artists and support crew. Local tertiary education facilities will be invited to be included where appropriate ie: Hair & Makeup

3. To promote Local and New Zealand based designers covering all aspects of sustainable fashion.

4. To provide a showcase opportunity for local and New Zealand based home sewers, senior high school fashion students and students studying fashion design to get creative with recycled fabrics in a specially designed runway. Category’s will include casual, classic, avant garde and cultural. This runway design opportunity falls outside of normal school and tech curriculum.

5. Onsite pop up shop to support participating designers with on the day sales to the attending audience.

6. A fantastic media and promotional focus for the Hutt and The Hutt Winter Festival as the NZ Eco Fashion Runways have attracted extensive media coverage from local, national and international media outlets and has an extensive following on social media (Facebook, Instagram)

We believe that down-scaling the event from a full fashion week to the occasional eco runway will made the event much more accessible to both the public and local designers. The result of this is that this type of fashion will have more of a focus into the local community.
