NZFW - KAHURIA '23 | Q&A with Justin Sweeney

In celebration of NZFW - Kahuria '23 next week, we interviewed the "sole" behind our catwalk show playlists since 2014, Justin Sweeney (DJ Vincent Hanna) about his favourite memories with Kathryn, favourite catwalk show playlists and sounds of the moment. 

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH KATHRYN?

The first full show I did for Kathryn was in 2014 so we have been working together for 9 years!

IN THREE WORDS, DESCRIBE WORKING WITH KATHRYN ON HER CATWALK SHOW PLAYLISTS

3 words to describe working with Kathryn would be 'Laughing, Dancing & Beyonce' 

CAN YOU PICK A FAVOURITE KATHRYN WILSON PLAYLIST OR SHOW YOU HAVE WORKED ON?

My favorite show we've done is definitely the 2018 show where we had a live drumline. It took a really long time to put together and I was really proud of how well it came out. It was super cool to see everyone's reactions to it live at the show.

IN CELEBRATION OF 20 YEARS OF KATHRYN WILSON FOOTWEAR AT NZFW - KAHURIA '23, CAN YOU SHARE A FAVOURITE MEMORY / MOMENT / STORY WITH KATHRYN? 

Obviously I have a great time working on shows with Kathryn, but my favourite times "working" with Kathryn have actually been playing personal events for her, like her and (her partner) Liam's wedding and her birthday parties. Kathryn loves music and I love seeing her off duty on and on the dance floor!
