Each week the Fashion Quarterly team rounds up what to read, see, shop, eat and drink.

1. A new store and menswear collection for hej hej

Loved linen brand hej hej has an abundance of good news this month. Founders Alice Isles and Kiki Judd have just debuted their third limited-edition menswear capsule, featuring stonewashed colours and designed with the hot summer in mind. 

The pair have also opened their first permanent store on Ponsonby road after the success of their pop-up at Bloc Mt Eden, working with acclaimed interior designers Wonder Group to showcase iconic hej hej colours and wavy garment racks. 

Visit the hej hej store at 282 Ponsonby Road, Auckland, or shop the menswear collection online at hej-hej.co

4. Supercharged serums by Trilogy

Natural skincare brand Trilogy has debuted two new serums packed with the power of natural actives: an ‘AHA Resurfacing’ and an ‘Antioxidant+ Defence’ serum. The AHA Resurfacing Serum is said to work in just 30 minutes to keep dull and lacklustre skin at bay, while the Antioxidant+ Defence Serum is engineered to replenish softness and elasticity. It also works to repair and protect the skin. 

Trilogy products are available from Farmers, Chemist Warehouse and selected pharmacies and health stores nationwide. For more information, visit trilogyproducts.com.
