The Search Is On For the Ultimate NZ Fashion Guru (Just In Time for NZ Fashion Week)
Telecom, an official partner to New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW) is using technology to seek out our country’s biggest
fashion fan and bring some of the onsite experience and excitement to fashionistas across the country.
Telecom has launched SHEEK, a purpose built mobile app that offers a virtual foot in the door to the exclusive main
event held 2-8 September in Auckland.
Users can compete with the Kiwi fashion-savvy for the title of ‘Ultimate NZ Fashion Guru’ via a series of in-built quiz
rounds, the SHEEK Challenge. The grand prize for the champion ‘Guru’ is a fabulous $5,000 fashion wardrobe chosen by the
winner from NZ designers Hailwood, Andrea Moore, Zambesi, Annah Stretton, Huffer, Karen Walker, Kate Sylvester, Cybele
or Twentyseven Names.
SHEEK is complete with insider images of the NZFW shows, a ‘how to get the look’ video-blog hosted by online style guru
and the former Miss NZ, Amber Peebles and a digital goodie bag exclusively for delegates and Telecom customers full of
NZFW treats.
The stylish set are encouraged to demonstrate what Kiwi fashion means to them by uploading their pictures to Instagram
using #telecomsheek. Outstanding photo contributions will be rewarded with one of six daily prizes of the stylish, new
HTC One smartphone (valued at $1,000).
Telecom’s Head of Brand, Communications & Digital, Kellie Nathan, says that given New Zealand smartphone usage is growing hugely each year, more Kiwis making the
most of unrestricted access to the mobile data experiences that matter to them, such as Fashion Week for NZ fashion
fans.
“We’re thrilled to be able to design and develop a mobile app that showcases the amazing event that NZFW has become to
all fans of fashion. SHEEK is the one must-have ‘app-cessory’ for watching designer shows from the front row or the
office. We’ll have images of the designs hot off the runway offering users insider access to the latest fashion trends
and an ability to collate and share their picks for the season ahead.”
SHEEK will be a central hub for all the information visitors to Auckland’s NZFW and NZ Fashion Weekend need with venue
maps, up to date news and access to designer’s show playlists at the tip of their fingers.
