Auckland is the perfect venue for style-minded visitors to New Zealand with its mix of quirky and cutting edge boutiques and stores in the city. Auckland is also a great place to the international fashion community to come together, especially during Auckland Restaurant month when the bar and restaurant scene is buzzing with locals and visitors alike. Auckland is establishing itself as a destination for flagship international stores and outlets and New Zealand Fashion Week is a great way of showcasing the city.
