Call for Established Designers

iD Fashion welcomes Dunedin based designers (or those with a Dunedin connection) to submit images of a collection to be considered for participation in the iD Dunedin Fashion Show 2025, to take place on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 April at the Dunedin Railway Station. Designers must be producing directional, commercial and sustainable adult fashion.

There will be a number of sections within the show with designers showcasing between 5 – 10 outfits. The selection panel consisting of industry fashion experts will determine which section best fits your collection.  As a priority diversity and size inclusivity will be celebrated for 2025.

iD welcomes applications from a diverse range of designers / brands with an Ōtepoti connection. A Dunedin connection extends to designers who have studied in Dunedin, have lived here previously or have a retail store in the city. Applications close on Monday 2 September.

“Dunedin has long been celebrated as a richly creative centre, a melting pot of artists, artisans, designers and those who live and breathe innovation and experimentation. The iD Show has been showcasing the fashion sector with ties to this city for well over 20 years and we can’t wait to see who comes forward for the 2025 show.” iD Co-Chair and Creative Director Margo Barton
