All the fashion seen at Aotearoa Art Fair 2024

Aotearoa Art Fair, the contemporary art fair in New Zealand, presented coveted artworks by many of the country’s leading artists and galleries. Along with the art, the fair also makes for great people-watching. It brings in a range of different types of tribes, from artists to gallery owners to buyers and young art students. In fact, as a regular at fashion weeks, I’d say some of the most stylish attendees are possibly better than the ones seen at fashion week. There is less of the peacocking (borrowed fits) and more personal style seen at the art fair. The Art World crowd exhibits a much higher level of sartorial spontaneity, featuring numerous VIPs known for their impeccable style.

If you’re feeling a little uninspired by your wardrobe, then the attendees at the Aotearoa Art Fair could inspire you out of your style rut.
