PITCH has become a recognised and innovative fixture on the New Zealand fashion calendar, supported and endorsed by many of our most established designers and influential fashion industry representatives.

When you watch a PITCH parade you're in for a thrill. Francis Hooper, designer for WORLD, who has twice appeared as a guest judge, says the show is just cool.

Fashion students from Years one to three present outfits that show off their skill and verve.

The presentations by the first two years’ students are built on their combined output during the year. For the Year 3 students, PITCH showcases their second collection they will have made and presented during the year.

NOTE: If you wish to sit as a group please ensure you purchase at the same ticket price and arrive early. As there are no seating numbers and seating allocation is on a first in first serve basis.
