After a very successful sell out show during New Zealand Fashion Week ..... we have decided to tour COLLAR. The Iconic Arts Centre GYM will house the exhibition of bespoke collars by 60 select makers’ hands from across Aotearoa. This collective exhibition brings together a group of invited makers, each responding to the collar as both object and adornment. Personally designed and made by each maker, every piece reflects an individual practice while contributing to a shared narrative that celebrates craftsmanship, process, and the enduring value of making by hand. Suspended together as a single installation, the collars become a portrait of contemporary making in Aotearoa revealing the richness of material exploration, technical skill, and creative expression across disciplines. With support from Christchurch City Council, for one afternoon only; Saturday 17th October 2-5pm. Nested comfortably during the Spring Fashion Festival. @nzfashionwk With a drink on entry if desired .... kindly supplied by our good friends at @pegasusbaywine and TBC Scented space by Daddy Live noise by Ben Woods + Live documentation by Emma Wallbanks and Sam Norton. Thank you to @studiocatherine for poster Ticket link in bio by @thekeep__

Wednesday night on Karangahape Road. @thekeep__ presents…THE COLLAR brought together over 60 of Aotearoa’s most significant makers for a collective exhibition unlike anything else at NZFW 2026. One object. One shared focus. The collar, reimagined across disciplines, materials and practices, suspended together as a single installation. @dorisdepont opened the evening with a mihi on the history of the collar and what we risk losing when craft is left behind. Models shared the space with makers, friends and collaborators, whilst candlelight and live music in an intimate setting did the rest. A portrait of contemporary making in Aotearoa. And one of the most special evenings of the week. Collar makers: Steven Park, Julia Palm, Christopher Duncan, Kiri Nathan, James Dobson, Annabella Schnabel, Marilyn Sainty, Doris de Pont, Sofia Tekela-Smith, Julianna Jung, Ani O’Neill, Niicolé Pollard, Emma Wallbanks, Ash Mosen, Rachel Long, Andreas Mikellis, Amber Star, Margarita Robertson, Arlo Pavlovich, Emma Jing, Mia Straka, John-Troy O’Sullivan, Shannen Young, Judi Clements, Jacob Coutie, Brooke Georgia, Jojo Ross, Kensa Lasaki, Liz Mitchell, Taylor Groves, Abigail Brodrick, Ningyi, Bob Buck, Yuka Maud, Giulia Zigliani, Vicki Taylor, Jo Yen, Marina Davis, Elisabeth Findlay, Sarah-Jane Duff, Eliza Baker, Michele Clapton, Adrian Hailwood, Yuka O’Shannessy, Kate Megaw, Trent Bell, Julia Thompson, Naith & Heidi Morrow, Luke Stonehouse, Wynn Hamlyn, Grace Norsworthy, Shayna Quinn-Bowyer & Welfe Bowyer, Mariam Tawfik, Pepi-Joy Gilgen, Wilbur Hsu, Catherine Griffiths, Lela Jacobs, Nichola Shanley, Jungeun Lee, Emily Siddel. #NZFW26 #NZFashionWeek by @thekeep__

Mānawatia a Matariki - a time to pause, reflect, remember, and reconnect. This year we asked Pepi-Joy Gilgen to showcase her work at The Keep - Ngaa Purapura Tuawhiti o Rongo. Pepi‑Joy Gilgen @hardkoa_harikoa (Waikato, Ngāti Porou, Kāi Tahu) is a Waikato‑based textile artist whose work is shaped by the way her children see the world. She explores whakapapa, puuraakau, and the responsibilities of motherhood through tactile forms that connect story, environment, and belonging. Kuumara holds an essential place in the care and sustenance within Maaori society, especially as a primary food source throughout the year. Within the Matariki cluster, Tupuaanuku is the star associated with all food grown in the soil. During the hautapu ceremony, kuumara is offered to Tupuaanuku in gratitude and to invite abundance in the year ahead. This piece celebrates the humble kuumara, for as the whakataukii reminds us, kaaore te kuumara e koorero moo toona ake reka. For purchase inquiries, please get in touch with us via the keep instagram or email at thekeep504k@gmail.com The Keep will be closed on friday for Matariki but the instillation will be in the window to view anytime.. daylight and starlight Ngā mihi nui taken in THE KEEP by @thekeep__
