New Zealand Fashion Week for 2024 was cancelled due to the economic downturn and pressures on consumer spending. They transitioned the annual event to a biennial schedule. This means both iD Dunedin Fashion Week and New Zealand Fashion Week will be on the same biennial schedule.
"While we recognise the excitement there is around NZFW following its triumphant and successful return in 2023, demonstrating its resilience and popular appeal, transitioning to a long-term biennial programme reflects the mindful shift we see within Aotearoa’s fashion industry," said Feroz Ali of NZFW.
"Staging the event less frequently is a more strategic allocation of resources and enables the sector in achieving its sustainability goals, an important consideration for designers as well as our own values. We are confident that the revised schedule, delivered with the support of our partners, will work well for the industry and Auckland events calendar."
