Crocs were spotted on the feet of New Zealand’s leading influencers at New Zealand Fashion Week
Fashion week’s around the world are notorious for a few things — standout street style, iconic runway moments, and a hot list of exclusive afterparties that imprint a few memories. But behind the glamour lies the reality: long days, back-to-back shows, and hours spent dashing from venue to venue on foot. Which (we’d assume) is why, at this year’s New Zealand Fashion Week, a few of Auckland's leading influencers made the clever move — swapping stilettos for colourful Crocs.

Spotted front row at New Zealand Fashion Week’s ‘Into The Archives’ opening night, platform Crocs stole a few glaces – dripping in gems, Jibbitz, and bows enough to rival a jewellery box. Model & influencer, Daisy Clementine paired hers with a denim two-piece, while fashion leader, Jess Molina gave hers the full Molina treatment: a white dress layered over a black tutu, topped off with a beanie finessed with a veil.

Also spotted front row were the iconic Realtree APX Classic Clog Crocs — the pair that dominated the past year. Singer, Ella Monnery, styled hers with a brown two-piece denim set, while radio host, Tegan Yorwarth rocked the cream Echo Clog with real-tree pants, a brown cropped jacket, and a tie cinched at the waist.

Four Words owner and influencer Shivana Pemberton was spotted in the Classic Platform Clog, decked out with diamante bows, gems, and Jibbitz. She paired them with a layered ensemble — a dual-tone shirt dress, an overshirt, a tie, a cream beret, and a blue Prada bag — proving the diversity of Crocs when styling different looks.

Closing out NZFW, Crocs made yet another appearance — once again in true bedazzled style. Brown and white pairs, still loaded with Jibbitz, were spotted adding a playful twist to pared-back looks. Model and influencer Daisy Clementine teamed hers with a sharp brown pantsuit, while digital creator Rose Kwon styled hers beneath a black leather trench and blue ankle-cut pants.
