NZ Fashion On Screen

NZ Fashion On Screen

This collection celebrates Kiwi fashion on screen. From TV showpieces (Benson and Hedges, Corbans, Wella and Style Pasifika) to documentaries on designers; Gloss to archive gold, from Swannies to Scribe and kākahu Māori...take a stroll down the catwalk of our sartorial screen past. Te Papa curator Claire Regnault says “the fashion industry found a powerful ally in the world of television”, while ex Fashion Quarterly editor Fiona Hawtin recalls TV fashion shaping her own eye for style. Plus fashion stylist and creative director Dan Ahwa spotlights influential music videos from our fashionable past.
