As New Zealand Fashion Week makes its long-awaited return, the crowds flocked to Shed 10 in Tāmaki Makaurau, bringing with them a parade of bold accessories, dramatic proportions, and effortlessly cool looks. While this week is all about showcasing the very best talent the Aotearoa fashion industry has to offer, we’ll no doubt be seeking sartorial inspiration from the attendees as well. 

Below, our editors round up the best dressed guests from each day of New Zealand Fashion Week. Here’s who made the list…

Day one

Day two

On day two, Shed 10 was awash with refined silhouettes and delicate florals as guests gathered for Juliette Hogan’s highly anticipated NZFW show, then after dark moody lighting, ice-cold Tanqueray Gibsons and understated elegance set the scene for the intimate Harris Tapper show at Blue in Ponsonby.

Day three

Day three at NZFW and the fashion outside Shed 10 was as compelling as what unfolded on the runway. Patterns reigned supreme, scarves doubled as belts, and bold proportions met intricate detailing

Day four
