Event Submission 80 MANAWATIA A MATARIKI

Her Story – Matariki Fashion Show 2026 by Rakshi’s Design returns to the Papakura Museum, celebrating the Māori New Year through a powerful fusion of fashion and visual storytelling.

Inspired by the nine stars of Matariki, this couture collection transforms black velvet, sculptural silhouettes and intricate detailing into wearable art pieces that honour themes of remembrance, renewal and connection to the natural world.

Following the success of last year’s showcase, this year’s event continues to elevate cultural narratives through design. Guests can expect a visually captivating runway experience, live performances and an inspiring atmosphere that celebrates identity, culture and new beginnings.
