1. No place like home
Sylvester’s first collection of 2026, Home, takes cues from the places we grow up in and the spaces we return to. Roses sketched in hospital rooms blossom into delicate embroidery across the Rose story, while Venetian-inspired stripes feature in bias-cut satin for the sophisticated Shutters pieces. Signature denim and playful workwear nods anchor the collection, tied together with Parquet knitwear. Transeasonal staples, sharp tailoring and new jewellery – like the Alley Cat necklace – make Home a celebration of comfort, memory and style.
2. Firehouse Friday
Auckland’s pub scene gets a neighbourhood heartbeat with Grey Lynn Firehouse, from Luke Jones and Dave Lincoln of Honest, Norma Taps, and Roundhouse Drinks Dept. Housed in a two-story heritage fire station, the venue blends classic UK pub charm with relaxed Australian-style dining. Hand-sanded floors, timber interiors, two bars, fireplaces, and a rooftop deck set the tone. Expect local and international brews on tap, Roundhouse cocktails, hearty pub classics, and a refined upstairs menu by Chef Kererū Wilson.
3. Office Hours
Anchored in the continued evolution of corp-core, Mi Piaci’s AW26 collection Office Hours taps into the ongoing shift toward smarter, more considered workwear. The focus is on clean shapes, wearable proportions and neutral tones that feel easy. Small design details add interest without overdoing it, keeping everything practical and polished. It’s a collection made for women who want to look put-together without thinking too hard about it – confident, modern and designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.
4. A Tiffany love story
Tiffany & Co. reveals its 2026 Valentine’s Day campaign with a cinematic short film starring ambassador Adria Arjona. Continuing the House’s legacy of storytelling since 1837, the film centres on an intimate portrait of modern love. Arjona wears pieces from the HardWear by Tiffany collection alongside the Tiffany Setting. The film shows strength, resilience and romance unfold through an unexpected narrative, offering a reminder that the most meaningful love stories are often the ones lived daily.
5. Summer in a glass
