This year, the Hokonui Fashion Design Awards winners will receive a special opportunity to showcase their best creations at NZ Fashion Week, elevating their recognition within the New Zealand fashion industry. The runway show, held at Auckland's Viaduct Harbor, marks a significant highlight in the country's fashion calendar.
Jackie McKinney, the organizer of the Hokonui Fashion Design Awards, expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming event, emphasizing its potential to provide invaluable exposure for both established and up-and-coming designers. While they aim to present winners from every category, the overwhelming number of entries has led to some tough decisions, and not all winners may make it to the runway. Nevertheless, the aspiration is to showcase as many deserving talents as possible during the event, as it gathers renowned designers and fashion houses from all across the country.
The connection between the Hokonui Awards and NZ Fashion Week was a well-kept secret from the designers during the entry process. However, the organizers are delighted that their efforts to make this collaboration a reality are finally coming to fruition, bringing joy and excitement to the talented designers participating in the competition.
Among the judges for this year's Hokonui Fashion Design Awards are Steve Dunstan from Hafer, alongside Liam Bowden, founder, and creative director of Judge Ponies, and Vicky Taylor, representing Taylor Boutique. Their expertise and discerning eye will contribute to the selection of the most exceptional entries that will grace the catwalk at NZ Fashion Week, creating an unforgettable experience for all fashion enthusiasts.
