How it works

The culmination of New Zealand's fashions in the field competitions, this is the national final, bringing together the cream of the crop to find the country's most stylish racegoer.

Entry into The Ned Prix de Fashion is by pre-qualification with entrants needing to win a qualifying competition in order to secure their spot in the competition.

This season, qualifying events will take place throughout the country, culminating in a final pre-qualifying competition here at Ellerslie on Champsions Day which will give four lucky women one last ‘wild card’ chance to secure their spot in the Semi-Final of The Ned Prix de Fashion.

Contestants will then take to the runway in a bid to catch the eye of our expert panel of judges whose job it will be to whittle the pool down to just five Grand Finalists and from there, the Supreme Winner.

This year we celebrate 20 years of fashion here at Ellerslie and to celebrate we took a look back at all our previous winners of Prix de Fashion. Check out our honour roll below.
