Eden Hore

Eden Hore was a visionary New Zealand farmer and fashion collector, renowned for amassing one of the country's most significant collections of Kiwi fashion from the 1970s and 80s. His passion for fashion was sparked by a desire to promote tourism in his beloved Central Otago, leading to the establishment of a fashion museum on his farm. After his passing in 1997, his collection was acquired by the Central Otago District Council and continues to be celebrated through exhibitions and publications that highlight the unique intersection of rural life and fashion history in New Zealand.
