iD Dunedin Fashion Week Tickets

Tickets for the eagerly anticipated iD Dunedin Fashion Show and Awards are on sale from Tuesday, 8 November, and they’re expected to sell out fast.

iD Dunedin will return home to the Dunedin Railway Station in April 2023 and will combine the iD Awards and iD Show in one major event on Saturday, 1 April. It will be one of the only events in the world that gives public audiences a rare view of emerging fashion on a global scale, while also viewing the best in local fashion design.

Event Manager Victoria Muir says, “We know our fashion lovers have missed being able to attend the show in person, and especially at our iconic venue, so we’re expecting a really quick turnaround with the tickets. It’s a huge couple of weeks for fashion in the city, with the events we’re planning and then the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes conference following straight after. We’re really excited to be on at the same time as Otago Rally as well – the city will be humming!”

Tickets will be available online from the iD Dunedin Fashion Website or at the Regent Theatre box office from 9am Tuesday, 8 November.
