New Zealand Fashion Week Kahuria 2025


Discover the details and step behind the scenes of our standout show at NZFW | Kahuria 2025.

Set in the industrial surrounds of Shed 10, raw concrete floors were juxtaposed against a backdrop of luxe white draping - a space elevated with an atmosphere of quiet refinement.

“It’s about the arrival of summer, lightness, gathering, and the energy shift of the season – a return to warmth and the expressive beauty of dressing.”
– Juliette Hogan, Designer

Behind the Scenes

A post-show celebration with Mumm and Antipodes unfolded as the final model left the runway. The luxurious white curtain backdrop seamlessly tracked her exit to reveal a striking 20-metre bar, lined with champagne glasses and anchored by a dramatic, lush floral centrepiece. An elevated and unexpected moment of celebration – elegant, indulgent, and filled with delight.

It was a pleasure working with Bared Footwear - their styles integrated seamlessly with our looks on the runway. We share a commitment to design with integrity and longevity, and that synergy made the partnership feel really natural.

A Note From Juliette

 

"Not only are fashion shows necessary to showcase new collections but they are a celebration of all the hard work that we do. I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who helped contribute to bring our NZFW show to life. The collection is beautiful and show was a dream. It was a joy to design and produce and I hope you love it as much as I do."

 

Details

 

Looks were completed with Bared Footwear, make-up by Josie Wignall with skin prep from Raaie, hair by Lauren Gunn from Colleen with Kevin Murphy & music by Cay Works.

The makeup look for Juliette Hogan’s show is Radiance Refined – dewy skin, soft tones and a subtle light play for a fresh-faced runway statement. Raaie plays a key role in achieving this look by prepping the face first with Tranquility Water – a whisper of fine mist activates instant hydration and glow, Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum adds brightness and Cocoon Ceramide Cream melts into the skin – the ultimate pre-foundation prep.

 

The hair was a study in minimalism. The brief was all about health over hype: strands that look impossibly luxurious without screaming for attention. Whenever I'm designing a look for Juliette Hogan, my focus is on creating hair that feels super healthy, with a pared-back polish. For this show, we used some hero products from Kevin Murphy including the Young Again Dry Conditioning Spray to plump, hydrate and deliver a mirror-shine finish – echoing Juliette's signature of feminine minimalism.
