Dunedin City’s id, or identity, as a fashion centre is world-renowned. Dunedin recently received global billing as #17
in the Australian Harper's Bazaar 'Hip List 2002 - The Hot 100' "Dunedin (no really): New Zealand's new fashion
frontier, home of NOM D, Nicholas Blanchet and Tanya Carlson." Fashion aficionados are seeing Dunedin as a burgeoning
icon for New Zealand Fashion. Jen Ford of UK’s Wallpaper Magazine commented in October 2001. "You [New Zealand] have
Dunedin, which is very dark and gothic and sort of brooding. People have compared it to the Belgium designers -
definitely fresh".
“Air New Zealand’s travel packages to id DUNEDIN Fashion provide dedicated followers of fashion with the ideal
opportunity of a shopping spree for the finest winter garments from some of New Zealand’s most lauded designers” says
Paul Tibbutt, Marketing Manager, Air New Zealand Destinations.
