Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa FW26 - Fenella

For our first Ahua show, we are incredibly excited to show our newly released collection “Fenella”, and a preview of our winter season to come.

From a period of my life like no other, this collection bridges the two months prior and after the birth of my first child, Fenella. It is a time capsule of thoughts and emotions from both sides of this brave new world.

Clarity, serenity, ease, quiet and comfort; this minimalist collection offers a softer perspective on our signature silhouettes.

As we step into our new collection, the palette deepens and shadows take hold.

Magnified forms, unravelled lines, crumpled textures and surrealist prints unfold. The world is a strange and spellbound place in the middle of the night.

Winnie Catherine is a New Zealand womenswear label recognised for its voluminous Victorian silhouettes that remain sophisticated and contemporary. Each piece is designed for the modern-day woman, representing confidence, composure, and courage that moves through life with you; from work to weekend.

Returning to the Āhua runway, Winnie Catherine presents a collection of modern tailoring for the cooler months. With notes of 19th-century dress codes, crisp shirting, and rounded shapes, this fall-winter collection investigates the power of proportions and the revival of period dressing in a refined, modern way.
