When two icons cross paths, it’s more than a meeting—it’s a moment. Remix placed Volkswagen’s black Golf GTI beneath Auckland’s glowing nightscape, in celebration of NZ Fashion Week. Inspired by the timeless style of the Golf GTI—often touted as the perfect accessory—New Zealand designer Nicole Hadfield of Oosterom has created a capsule collection of little black dresses. Together, they embody an enduring kind of glamour. One that lingers long after the lights fade.

Few cars have transcended their segment to become both a motoring legend and a cultural icon quite like the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Launched in 1976, the GTI didn’t just invent the ‘hot hatch’ category—it redefined how performance, practicality, and personality could come together in one package. Now, as it celebrates 50 years, the GTI stands as a timeless fashion statement. Since its debut, this car has captured the hearts of millions worldwide, earning a cult-like following that spans generations, including Princess Diana and David Beckham. With its distinctive design and timeless appeal, the Golf GTI remains instantly recognisable on the road—an icon in its own right. And to match? An iconic limited-edition capsule collection designed by local designer, Oosterom, in a range of her sustainably sourced classic crinkle, luxurious silk and sharp tailoring—reimagined as little black dresses for a timeless collection and an ode to this timeless vehicle.
