Faraday Street has become somewhat of a cultural hub in across the past year, with a host of creative residents who sit outside of the ‘typical’ design destinations to offer something unique. This Friday, the street is once again pooling their collective offerings — hosting an evening of design, drinks, and discovery.

Jaimie Webster Haines — who implicitly understands the joy of clothing that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but wearable, functional, and durable, is once again set to bring her eponymous label to the street. The designer is popping up this Friday at My Exhibition showcasing her beautifully considered collection and offering styling advice and insight into the brand. As well as the clothing edit, shoppers will also find cushions from Yuva, bows from My Exhibition, beeswax candles, and tchotchkes galore — all perfect for gifting this festive season.

Elsewhere in the vicinity, My Exhibition’s Faraday Street compatriots Ne Geurra and Föenander Galleries will both be open on Friday afternoon and into the evening. Ne Guerra is offering an evening of Ikebana — inviting those curious to indulge in an evening of Japanese floral arranging as they showcase their stunning new vessels, while Föenander Galleries is unveiling its final exhibition of the year. Dubbed ‘The Daylight Show‘, the showcase exhibits the diverse perspectives and innovative approaches of 13 early career artists connected to Aotearoa.

So, with so much to see (and shop) in the area, who not make a bee-line for Faraday Street this Thursday or Friday, taking the opportunity to explore what is fast-becoming the city’s preeminent design destination.
