It'll be the first time that the City Gallery is open to the public again after years of renovation.

It's looking beautiful.

A lot of the old architecture, original architecture has been uncovered.

um and we will um we essentially have a an exhibition or a showcase which is being installed at the moment um which is a very it's not like a traditional fashion week where you're looking at the new season um it's a deep dive into

the material vernacular of design, what makes Wellington Design Wellington, you know, the history of some of these brands.

So J Palm, Koto, 27 names and Yume are all involved.

And then we've all brought in plus one to plus threes of other collaborators.

So for Yume it's Gerard Dombrowski and we've done a chair collaboration and a button collaboration with him.

And for other brands like 27 Names, they've got Chloe Hill coming in to help style their collection.

And the wonderful thing is, you know, it's their 20 year anniversary this year.

They have a full, I don't want to give too much away, but a full sort of look back through their archives into all of their campaigns.

And it's all Wellingtonians who have, you know, put those together over the years.

There's an open to public exhibition, which kind of traverses all of those areas.

Anyone can come.

Actually, everybody should come.

We would love you to all be there.

Totally.

And then we have a few runway shows.

So that is the more, I guess, you know, fashion is a very dynamic thing.

So it does need to be shown in a live setting.
