“We sweat and cry salt water, so we know that the ocean is really in our blood“ - Teresia Kieuea Teaiwa

How do we as a fashion community uphold our creative and cultural values and bring them into the future whilst navigating our own identities in mainstream as fashion designers?

Join us as we transform the extraordinary Te Komititanga - Downtown Ferry Terminal into the canvas for this year’s event!

The name Te Komititanga was gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei for the area that connects Queen Street to the waterfront. Te Komititanga means ‘to mix’ or ‘to merge’ in te reo Māori and refers to the confluence of two bodies of water, Wai Horotiu, the stream that once ran down Queen Street, and the Waitematā Harbour.

DESIGNERS 2024

PARTNERS 2024

Looking back at Pacific Fusion Fashion Show 2023. We explored the creative realms of designers and their own cultural ideologies of where they originate from and how that translates through their collections.

We also navigated what Pacific fashion fused with other cultures looks like and where it is headed. It’s no secret that the embodiment and inspiration of the pacific aesthetic hails from our heritage and where we descend from - fashion or not.
