Volunteers
At New Zealand Fashion Week we rely on our Volunteers to make the whole week tick! In return, Volunteers get an up close and personal view of New Zealand Fashion Week, event management and the fashion industry. Volunteering is not for the faint hearted, this is a very busy event with long hours spent on your feet. We expect a high standard of delivery from our volunteers. You will generally work in shifts of either 8am to 2pm or 1pm to 7pm, but sometimes later. More information will be given to you once you have registered.
Once you register it will take us up to two weeks to get back to you, be patient - this is a large logistical exercise for us but we will get back to every one of you.
There are 3 main areas in which we require volunteers. Please see below for a brief outline of those roles within the event.
Dressing Models
This involves being part of a team and styling the models backstage, per the designer's instructions, before they walk out on to the catwalk. Often this involves 2 or 3 changes per model in a short time frame. This is a fun and fast paced role and a must if you love NZ fashion. You must be calm under pressure.
Ushers
This role could be described as directing traffic - it's crucial to the flow of the entire show. You will be required to direct people to their seats in a timely and very polite manner and smooth out any issues if they arise. You will need a positive and confident nature and a love of Fashion. Professionalism is key here.
Registration
We will have people from all over the world attending New Zealand Fashion Week and often it's the people at the registration desk who are the first point of contact. You will help media, buyers and VIPs with tickets or information packs and any other general queries that may arise. You will need to be very computer literate, fast paced, be able to use your initiative, extremely well presented and well organized and able to cope under pressure. A multi tasker who doesn't fluster.
Outstanding Volunteers
Sometimes we meet outstanding people who we assign other amazing jobs during the event - this could be you - consider this a potential job of a lifetime interview - we will be in touch 2 weeks after you have registered at least.
