AOK Fashion Thursday
AOK Fashion Thursday is a particularly inventive take on a fashion event - with fashion speed dating, sample sales, pop-up stores and experimental art installations.
Overview
Whatever else may be said about the quirky folk of K’ Road, no one can deny that they have style. Following on from the precinct’s showing at NZ Fashion Weekend, K’ Road is throwing open the doors of their stores and studios this Thursday in celebration of the quirky and endlessly creative fashion that this lovingly abbreviated street is famous for.
Now in its second year running, the AOK Fashion Thursday comprises a series of fashion-related events that are particularly more inventive than a simple fashion show or two. Case in point: fashion speed dating – its unclear whether this event is designed for you to meet the wonderfully dressed love of your life or the leather jacket of your dreams, but personally I’m hoping it’s the latter. If you’ve already found your soul mate of the black leather variety, you may alternatively be interested in the sample sales, pop up stores, meet-and-greets with fashion bigwigs, in store shindigs or experimental art installations that this night entails.
Well-known names Lela Jacobs and Hailwood will be unveiling their spring/summer collections in store and fresh-faced up-and-comers Lucy McIntosh and Christopher Duncan will be unveiling their designs. Eclectic jeweller Nick Von K is pouring wine and offering discounts alongside his new collection at La Gonda Arcade while the fabulously offbeat Naked Empire – The Style Syndicate will present the oh-so stylish St Kevin’s Arcade Parade – extra kudos for making that name rhyme.
AOK Fashion Thursday will take place on Thursday 11 September from 6 – 9pm.
