AUT ROOKIE Fashion Graduate Show 2016 Part 1

Nov 14, 2016

AUT ROOKIE Fashion Graduate Show 2016 with photography by Annupam Photos. This is Part 1 in a series, due to the large number of designers in the show.

The AUT Rookie graduate fashion show, held this year on 9th November 2016 on Auckland’s waterfront in Shed 10 at Queens Wharf, is always the prime place to spot up and coming designers. A selection of top final year AUT students present their mini collections to AUT staff, family, friends, and to New Zealand designers who may potentially hire them, as well to fashion media.

AUT says “For graduates the show provides very real and practical experience of the intensity of the fashion industry. The show has proven to be a significant kick-start for the careers of some young designers with many going on to launch their own labels, open their own stores, win awards, and work nationally and internationally with top designers. Rookie is much more than just a graduate fashion show; it is a showcase of the future talent of the New Zealand fashion industry.”
