The Spring Collections is a ‘not to be missed’ fashion event which will showcase some of the South Islands top retailers and designers including yours truly – STARFISH.
We’re really excited about this event because not only does it give us the opportunity to show off our fantastic summer collection ‘Free Radicals’ on the catwalk, but because the event also supports the NEW ZEALAND BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION – a charity very close to our hearts.
In addition to the fashion show there will be designer and retail fashion awards to commend those involved in the South Island fashion community. This is a great opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge those in the industry.
Other retailers presenting at this event include Andrea Moore, Ballantynes, Barkers, Contemporary Lounge, Gilly Melhop, Gregory, Head Over Heels, Jane Daniels, Kooky, Little Brother, Long Island, and Sergios.
After party at Bangalore Polo Club.

NEW ZEALAND – Somewhere beneath that long white cloud lies a positively fertile field of sustainable fashion talent. Favourite of New Zealand born actress Anna Paquin, STARFISH is one of the country’s leading forces in green fashion with several boutiques across New Zealand stocking the best in local and international eco-designers as well as the label’s own striking collections of classic styles with dramatic and feminine twists.
Made 100% on shore in New Zealand from the best in sustainable fabrics, Starfish is also the first fashion label to present a completely eco collection at New Zealand Fashion Week – right down to the girl’s knickers!
