Come to Waiheke Community Art Gallery and bring along your New Zealand-made fashion items - vintage or more recent labels, to be photographed for inclusion in the NZ Fashion Museum online collection.
Make sure you have them looking their very best - hang, air, iron or dry clean them before you bring them so they are recorded looking great.

Bring your contemporary New Zealand-made garments to Auckland Museum for our all-day pop-up photo studio. We're there in the studio as part of their exhibition Taku Tamaki - Auckland Stories to collect your fashion stories.
The New Zealand Fashion Museum wants to extend our Auckland-based designer content - do you have any early Karen Walker, Zambesi, Marilyn Sainty, World or something a little older like Pussyfooting, Hullabaloo, Bruce Papas or Emma Knuckey? We'd love you to bring your clothes along to the studio together with any stories about what you did in them and any photos of you wearing them. Make sure you have your garments looking their very best - hang, air, iron or dry clean them before you bring them so they are recorded looking great.
