Fashion Takeover: 4 Days of Fashion in the City
Auckland’s central city is set for a fashion-forward takeover as 4 Days of Fashion in the City returns for 2018 – it’s seventh year running. Spread across Queen Street, High Street and Britomart precincts, 4 Days of Fashion in the City sees NZ’s best and leading-edge brands taking the spotlight in an interactive and creative retail experience.
“Offering fresh and dynamic experiences is key to being a unique and exciting retail destination”, says Viv Beck, Heart of the City Chief Executive. “From nurturing self and senses, to getting style advice from your favourite fashion and lifestyle influencers, our event programme this year is a great mix of fashion, food and music.”
Working in conjunction with headline sponsor Resene, 4 Days of Fashion in the City boasts over 20 events with brands such as Barkers, World, Crane Brothers and Timberland.
