iD has announced that celebrated New Zealand designer Juliette Hogan will be on the catwalk and the iD Awards judging panel this year.
Juliette Hogan has retail stores in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, stocked with high-end boutiques. She is a founder and Chair of Mindful Fashion NZ and has been dedicated to fostering sustainability within the fashion industry.
2025 has marked 21 years in the industry for Hogan, who will show her 2025 ONE + TWO collection on the iD catwalk.
“We are thrilled to have Juliette Hogan showing her collection and as a guest judge this year,” said Dr Margo Barton, iD board Co-chair.
“Juliette has set a gold standard for elevated simplicity, expert tailoring and a great dedication to promoting sustainable practices both in her brand as well as more widely in New Zealand through Mindful Fashion New Zealand.”
The expert panel of judges will also include NOM*d’s Margarita Robertson, iD board member and Paper Theory founder Tara Viggo, Dan Ahwa and Kowtow Head Designer Dayne Johnston, along with head judge and longtime iD collaborator, designer Tanya Carlson.
The iD team also shared that iconic New Zealand label Zambesi will return to the runway this year with another complete show-stopping collection.
Launched in 1979 by Elisabeth and Neville Findlay, the internationally acclaimed label is a perennial exemplar of cutting-edge fashion in New Zealand. The brand has become a firm favourite in fashion circles and is known for its directional yet highly wearable pieces, cross-generational devotees and inventive use of fabrics.
“We are very excited to welcome New Zealand fashion royalty Zambesi back to the iD catwalk this year. They are always a major highlight, and we can’t wait to see their Winter collection,” said iD Fashion Event Manager Victoria Muir.
Additionally, iD has also launched some sustainable merch with the cutest socks in two colour options available. These are 100 percent merino, made in Ashburton, New Zealand and available from Chapman Store.
The 2025 iD Dunedin Fashion Show will be held at the Dunedin Railway Station this April. Tickets for the iD shows have been selling fast with very limited availability.
