Beach Brains: Behind the Scenes at the Aotearoa Brand's Debut Runway Show

Tāmaki Makaurau

— August 21, 2026 —

 

Last night, it wasn't just the fashion crowd that rolled up to Shed 10 for the after-dark show, it was a whole crowd of friends and whānau, some ready to watch the show and some lucky mates who were roped in to walk the show alongside a line up of local models, for Beach Brains' debut runway.

You'll spot a few friends of CPC in the line up: there's Oliver who we recently hung out with down in Pōneke, Sophie who took a glamorous turn around Dominion road with us, and Aotearoa modelling legends Holly Rose and Ngahuia who seem to pop up at almost every show we land at (not mad about it). Say hi to them all and meet a few new faces below.
