This year's theme shines a spotlight on fast fashion, a global challenge that continues to grow at an alarming rate. Junk to Funk invites us all to pause, reflect, and celebrate the power of slowing down.

"Slow Down. You Are Here." serves as a daily reminder that our collective identity and personal style don't need to come at the planet's expense. We don't need endless cycles of textile trends for Waiheke to remain a creative, stylish, and inspiring part of history.

Categories for the 2026 Runway
This inspiring showcase features wearable artworks created by both youth and adult designers across four innovative categories:

HE KĀKANO
Natural Fibres

PULP FICTION
Cardboard & Paper

FABRICATED
Reused Fabrics

THE MET-AL GALA
Plastics, Metal & E-Waste

Join us for an evening of imagination, purpose, and planet-friendly fashion. Whether you're supporting a designer, passionate about sustainability, or simply love a spectacular show, Junk to Funk 2026 is not to be missed.
