The long-awaited Jockey show finally returned to the runway at New Zealand Fashion Week 2023: Kahuria today after a four-year hiatus.
It’s one of the most hotly anticipated shows each year, and for good reason - it’s all about embracing your confidence and having a good time. And today’s show felt like a celebration - not just of its return, but of possibly the most diverse group of models we’ve seen at a Fashion Week show to date.
On Day 3 of NZFW, rugby players, influencers and models of all ages, sizes and abilities strutted their stuff on the runway at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Jockey show without appearances from a few All Blacks and Black Ferns - it’s a rite of passage for our rugby stars. This year, Sevu Reece, George Bower and Angus Ta’avo quickly got into the swing of things and even dropped a few cheeky dance moves on the runway alongside Black Ferns Alana Bremner and Amy du Plessis.
