NZFW Graduate Collections 2026 | Otago Polytechnic ✨

A fantastic showing from Otago Polytechnic’s graduating designers. The collections were creative, considered and technically impressive, with each designer presenting a clear identity and story of their own.

We’ve been fortunate to work alongside Otago Polytechnic for many years, so it was especially rewarding to see their talented students represented on the New Zealand Fashion Week runway.

Congratulations to the designers and to all the lecturers, technicians, models and production teams behind them. An outstanding achievement and a proud moment for everyone involved.

NZFW Graduate Collections 2026 | Whitecliffe ✨

Whitecliffe’s graduate designers delivered a runway filled with originality, confidence and personality.

From the concepts and fabric choices through to the construction and final styling, it was fantastic to see each designer’s individual voice come through so strongly.

We know just how many hours of designing, patternmaking, fitting, sewing, unpicking and refining sit behind these few special moments on the runway.

A huge congratulations to every designer and to the tutors, models and production teams who helped bring their collections to life.

NZFW Graduate Collections 2026 | Massey University ✨

What an outstanding showcase from Massey University’s emerging designers. Every collection brought its own perspective, with bold ideas, thoughtful storytelling and an incredible amount of skill behind every finished garment.

We’re extremely proud of our long-standing relationship with Massey and of being able to support the next generation of New Zealand fashion talent. Seeing these designers bring their work to the New Zealand Fashion Week runway was very special.

Congratulations to every designer, lecturer, technician, model and everyone behind the scenes who brought this show to life. New Zealand Fashion Week Presented by Giltrap Group

Customer Spotlight 💜
How incredible is this sweater knitted by our lovely customer Melanie using Rowan Yarns Felted Tweed from the vibrant Kaffe Fassett Colour Collection.

Paired with ChiaoGoo circular knitting needles, this project is a perfect example of how premium tools and beautiful yarn come together to create something truly special. The rich purple shade, subtle tweed flecks and elegant finish are simply stunning.

Swipe through to see the finished jumper alongside the work in progress. We love seeing the journey from the first stitches through to a beautifully finished garment.

A huge thank you to Melanie for sharing her knitting with us. We can’t wait to see what she creates next!

If you’ve made something using yarn or needles from Direct Sewing, we’d love to feature your project too. Tag us or send us your photos.

Knitters… this is the brand you’ve been asking us for. 👀
From Finland to NZ! The Knitting Barber is officially here!

From the famous Knitting Barber Cords to stitch stoppers, cedar balls, row counters, project bags, notebooks, lights and so much more, we’ve just launched what we believe is New Zealand’s biggest collection.

If you haven’t discovered The Knitting Barber yet, you’re in for a treat. These beautifully designed accessories have built a cult following for one simple reason… they make knitting easier, tidier and a whole lot more enjoyable.

Go and have a browse. We have a feeling you’ll find something you didn’t know you needed.
