iD moves to a biennial format

As a valued iD Fashion lover, we wanted to let you know that we have just announced that our much-loved show at the Dunedin Railway Station will move to a biennial format.  

An event of this scale is very hard to pull together in 12 months, so the move to being a biennial event will give us more time to plan and secure funding, as well as market and communicate all the activities that comprise our fashion week.  

The next hallmark iD Dunedin Fashion Show at the Dunedin Railway Station will take place on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 April 2025.

Long regarded as a premier event for Dunedin, forward planning is essential to ensuring the ongoing success of the show. This has been recognised by the Dunedin City Council, which allocated iD a Premier Event Grant in July to help cover costs for the 2024 planning year.  

The decision will mean the iD International Emerging Designer Awards competition will also become a biennial event. We look forward to welcoming entries to our 2025 competition later in 2024.

We are currently working on plans for a smaller event in 2024 with a sustainability focus.  We will share more details on this soon.

Thanks for your valued support of iD Dunedin Fashion.
