5 things we loved this week

14 April 2026
By Sophie de Renzy

From a new era of hair on Drake Street to fashion that gives back and a skincare launch redefining simplicity, these are the drops and destinations on our radar this week.

1. Worn for a cause 

Breast Cancer Cure marks a decade of Tees for a Cure with its Winter ’26 release. Bringing together 18 of New Zealand’s leading designers, the limited-edition collection channels creativity into meaningful impact, with every piece funding vital breast cancer research. Captured through Holly Sarah Burgess’ lens and styled by Dan Ahwa, the campaign feels like more than a collection, it’s a collective – uniting industry and community in the pursuit of change. 

Tees For A Cure Pop-up locations & dates:
Westfield Newmarket | Friday 10th – Sunday 12th April
Westfield St Lukes | Friday 17th – Sunday 19th April
The Crossing Christchurch |  Friday 17th – Sunday 19th

2. Introducing Gulp 

The Facialist, long a trusted name in skin, enters a new chapter as Gulp. Founded by Ashleigh Scott, the reimagined brand distils its treatment-led expertise into a streamlined, hydration-first approach to skincare. The range focuses on high-performance, science-led formulations designed to support balanced, healthy skin – without excess. It’s a considered shift towards simplicity: fewer steps, smarter ingredients, and a more intuitive way of caring for skin.

3. A new era, on Drake 

On Drake Street, a new chapter in New Zealand hairdressing begins. Drake on Drake, founded by Jennifer Good alongside Ed and Gene, blurs the line between salon and creative studio, where fashion and hair are treated as one. Born as a space for community, collaboration and inspiration, it moves beyond the traditional salon model – ushering in a more expressive, future-facing approach. This is set to be an electrifying new era for hair, shaped by those redefining it.

4. Love letters from Paris

Amour, Michael Hill’s newest fine jewellery collection in collaboration with Miranda Kerr, has been more than a year in the making. A natural evolution of Kerr’s ongoing partnership with Michael Hill, The nine-piece capsule draws inspiration from Paris and Kerr’s enduring language of love, gratitude and connection. Reworking the heart motif into something more modern, each piece is designed to be worn, gifted and kept close.
