The Fashion Council of New Zealand (FCNZ) is proud to announce its continued partnership with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), leading a delegation of ten New Zealand fashion professionals to Fashion InStyle 2025 this April. This international fashion sourcing expo presents a crucial opportunity for Kiwi brands to connect with global suppliers, discover new materials, and establish key industry relationships.
Following the success of last year’s event, FCNZ is expanding its presence, ensuring more New Zealand brands gain access to world-class sourcing and manufacturing opportunities. As VIP Buyers, the delegation will engage with leading suppliers, manufacturers, and innovators, equipping them with the tools to scale their businesses internationally.
"Fashion InStyle is an essential event for New Zealand brands looking to strengthen their supply chains and explore new opportunities on a global scale," said Caitlan Mitchell, Co-Founder of FCNZ. "Through our ongoing collaboration with HKTDC, we are committed to fostering growth for our local fashion industry by providing direct access to international expertise and resources."
Throughout the expo, the FCNZ delegation will explore a wide array of textiles, trims, and production capabilities, and packaging exhibitors. The event will also serve as a platform for knowledge-sharing and collaboration, reinforcing FCNZ’s mission to support New Zealand’s fashion industry in expanding beyond domestic markets.
FCNZ has also secured an exhibitor space for Sapro-Tech, a leading New Zealand textile company, for its innovative textiles. They will be featured in the innovation section called NEXT at Fashion InStyle.
Sapro-Tech combines science and design to disrupt the conventional textile industry. With their exclusive technology and by leveraging the inherent properties of fungi, Sapro-Tech is producing innovative, long-lasting, and visually appealing textiles. These sustainable alternatives are aimed at revolutionising the fashion industry and extending their application to various other sectors.
FCNZ extends its gratitude to HKTDC for their invaluable support and for providing New Zealand brands with a gateway to international sourcing excellence.
