Since 1986, Nomd has been a pioneering force in New Zealand fashion. Steadfastly based in Dunedin, Nomd has consistently challenged conventional style by merging conceptual design with unmistakable local influences, blending experimental tailoring with regional cultural motifs.

Under the visionary leadership of Margarita Robertson, the label has reimagined the boundaries between art and apparel, earning international acclaim while transforming the local fashion landscape and cultivating a loyal following both at home and abroad.

Reflecting on this rich legacy, This is Nomd presents looks from the label’s extensive archives styled in a contemporary way, in addition to photographs, fashion films, and catwalk footage that emphasize the label’s long-term commitment to creative collaboration. The exhibition explores the evolution of its expressive approach to design, shedding light on its process, aesthetic influences, and relationship with the cultural identity of Aotearoa.
