Did you know that it is currently Fashion Week in New Zealand?

It is! Lucky for us, Jockey held their 2019 during New Zealand Fashion Week 2019 at Q Theatre earlier today (August 27, 2019) in Auckland, New Zealand.

Day two of New Zealand Fashion Week saw fashion wunderkind Maggie Marilyn‘s first official runway show offsite at Glasshouse in Morningside, while the Mercedes-Benz Presents designer Paris Georgia rounded off the proceedings with a glittering 8.30pm show on the Runway at Auckland Town Hall.

But the line-up also featured members of the All Blacks strutting their stuff for the Jockey fashion show as they warm-up for the Rugby World Cup in Japan.

All Blacks Damian McKenzie, Brad Weber and Ngani Laumape and Rugby Sevens stars Scott Curry and Kurt Baker traded a rugby ball for the runway, striding to the powerful sound of live Japanese drumming.
