D&M Hairdressing Supporting The Next Generation Of NZ Fashion

One of the highlights on the fashion calendar each year is the graduation catwalk show from AUT’s prestigious fashion design programme. The ROOKIE show is an opportunity for 24 final year fashion students to present their collections on the runway in front of the media and industry experts.
