@nzfashionweek: Seen on the runway. Worn on the street. Defining the season ahead. Life’s too short to wear dull clothes. Across the week designers flexed a playful sensibility that was completely intentional. Dressing with joy extended to bows tied at the neck and waist. Ruffles that moved with every step. Lace layered over structure. Pastel tones that felt fresh rather than precious. Silhouettes that referenced the romantic without apologising for it. #NZFW26 #NZFashionWeek #nzfwstylenotes
