When Queen Street was the beating heart of Auckland, trams, buses, ferries, and trains delivered all of its citizens into this retail and entertainment playground.
In 2026, it will reclaim its vibrant city-centered status with the 2026 CRL and Midtown may again become famous for its fashion. Join us as we take a walk of discovery. Within a radius of 100 meters, you will hear some great fashion stories; look behind the curtain at Emma Knuckey's Salon in Darby St, discover hot pants at Miss K boutique in the Strand Arcade, meet 150 year old brothers at Hallensteins, remember the life herstory of the recently closed Grand Dame of Queen Street, Smith and Caugheys.
Experience an enriching journey through part of Auckland's often-overlooked fashion heritage on a walk with the Fashion Museum.
