An exhibition of bespoke collars by 60 select makers’ hands from across Aotearoa.

After a very successful sell out show during New Zealand Fashion Week and by popular demand ..... we have decided to tour COLLAR to Otautahi.

This collective exhibition brings together a group of invited makers, each responding to the collar as both object and adornment. Personally designed and made by each maker, every piece reflects an individual practice while contributing to a shared narrative that celebrates craftsmanship, process, and the enduring value of making by hand.

Suspended together as a single installation, the collars become a portrait of contemporary making in Aotearoa revealing the richness of material exploration, technical skill, and creative expression across disciplines.

With support from Christchurch City Council, for one afternoon only and nested comfortably during the Spring Fashion Festival.

With a drink on entry if desired .... kindly supplied by our good friends at Pegasus Bay Wines and Lyttel Ninja Kombucha.
