At the FQ Fashion Awards 2025, style wasn’t the only thing worth celebrating. As the country’s fashion tastemakers gathered at OKAHU, one golden icon stood tall among the best dressed: Moët & Chandon.
As the official champagne partner of the night, Moët & Chandon brought its signature blend of elegance and effervescence to the evening, setting the tone from the very first pour. With over 280 years of heritage, the Maison is synonymous with celebration — its champagne having marked the world’s most memorable moments, from royal courts to red carpets… and now, the FQ Fashion Awards.
In the crowd, designs by both emerging and established New Zealand talent could be spotted, proudly worn by guests who had embraced the brief with their most striking interpretations of black tie. But the chicest accessory of all? Glasses of Moët Impérial served in gilded flutes. A fitting accompaniment to an evening dedicated to toasting creativity, legacy, and the future of fashion in Aotearoa.
Throughout the night, Moët flowed as freely as the conversation. From VIP arrivals and photos by the bespoke Moët tower to emotional acceptance speeches and dance floor celebrations, the champagne elevated each scene with its signature sparkle.
More than just a drink, Moët & Chandon embodied the spirit of the evening: bold, timeless, and joyfully celebratory. Because when fashion’s finest come together, only the most iconic bubbles will do.
