A little look back at our GABI days at @septieme_journal

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to spend some time with us and get a climpse into the GABI world we brought to Shanghai. We loved seeing our pieces find their way into new hands and conversations.

Skin Jewelry by Dika Liu for GABI

For our Shanghai pop-up, we’ve collaborated with multidisciplinary artist and designer Dika Liu @dika_liu__ to create four original ‘Skin Jewelry’ designs, inspired by the textures of our GABI fabrics, the way they drape on the body, and Ethiopian visual language.

On the opening day, Dika will be painting the designs live on guests’ skin using henna, a contemporary interpretation of the designs and a different way of experiencing them on the body.

HENNA EXPERIENCE TIME
30 October · 13:00–19:00

GABI POP-UP OPENING HOURS
30 October – 1 November · 11:00–19:00

LOCATION

GABI in the everyday with Naomi.

My sister, a writer with many hats and the most calming voice.

We captured Naomi at home, in her most natural state, reading, writing, and moving through the day surrounded by the things she loves.

The Naomi scarf🤍

Launching this Monday 14 September.

The SHASH scarf, blown up and a little cozier. Made from the same cotton woven fabric. But in a larger size, somewhere between a scarf, wrap and blanket.
