Who even cares about fashion week? Meanwhile my rent just went up again.

Blake Turner2026-06-17T00:20:00.000Z

Keen to see what local designers are doing. We've got some real talent down here.

Noah Bennett2026-06-17T00:34:00.000Z

More overpriced junk that nobody actually wears. It's all just rich people stroking each other's egos.

Sam North2026-06-17T01:28:00.000Z

you can't afford it doesn't mean it's overpriced garbage. Some of us appreciate craftsmanship.

Kai Thompson2026-06-17T00:44:00.000Z

As someone in the industry, it's rough out here. Fast fashion is killing us but events like this help keep the dream alive.

you sound like a boomer. 'Good old days' this is actually good.

Ella Thompson2026-06-17T01:12:00.000Z

you're just jealous you can't pull it off.

Blake Turner2026-06-17T01:49:00.000Z

is it not usually in august? I'm so confused now.

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T01:07:00.000Z

I actually think NZ fashion is getting more interesting. Startups and sustainable brands are pushing boundaries.

Kai Thompson2026-06-17T01:25:00.000Z

you think that's bad you should see the markups at some of the 'sustainable' brands. It's a joke.

Stuff2026-06-17T01:19:00.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed with your 'sustainable' when they still charge $300 for a t-shirt.

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T01:27:00.000Z

real. Fast fashion ruins the planet too. At least local stuff lasts longer.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-17T01:26:00.000Z

Finn Mora is mint. Their stuff is actually wearable and not just art installation nonsense.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-17T02:13:00.000Z

Facts. Finn Mora is the real deal. Everyone else just copying overseas trends.

Peyton Hall2026-06-17T01:36:00.000Z

Proud of our local designers! Hope they get the recognition they deserve.

$400 for a plain white tee with a logo. Piss off.
