Common Material. A pilot design biennial for Wellington, in partnership with City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi.

Proof that talking something into reality is possible with the right people in a right-sized city. An exhibition inspired by the vernacular of change we’ve all lived through these last few years.

The long-term ambition is a design biennial for the Pacific, a platform for the world-class talent in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

Very proud of our design community, who through sheer will and very little sleep, brought Common Material to life. 5,000 people came through our oasis of optimism over opening weekend. Thank you, what fun!

Opening night of Common Material: contemporary fashion shaped by Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.

“We hoped to give something to this city — the greater gift has been the chance to work alongside all of you. In a time when Wellington is often spoken about in terms of its challenges, this Biennial has shone a light on its greatest strength: its people.” Jessie Wong, Yu Mei

COMMON MATERIAL has become one of the biggest opportunities and career highlights JPALM has ever had. Building something this ambitious alongside such an incredible group of creatives in Te Whanganui-a-Tara has felt very special and monumental.

What’s made this project so powerful is the spirit behind it - people championing each other, sharing knowledge, opening doors and building something collectively. We’re all very different businesses with different worlds and perspectives, and the exhibition, runway and talks invite people into those worlds through storytelling, process and conversation.

Huge love to @jessieyumeiwong from @yumeibrand - the powerhouse holding us all together - alongside our incredible producer @k_emma_ , who we’d truly be lost without, and Charlotte Davy from @citygallerywellington for backing the vision from the beginning and constantly pushing JPALM forward.

Working with @cheshirearchitects on spatial design, and @sebmclauchlanltd + @yoyobay on visual design, has been unreal. They’ve woven all of our very different visions together into something immersive and magnetic.

JPALM exists across many parts of COMMON MATERIAL - including a @slug_pop_up shoppable installation featuring some of our favourite Wellington brands, new limited edition denim pieces created with long time collaborator @estadejong , and the first drop of the new TETHER collection launching at the runway show (and online Saturday6th 9am).

The exhibition is free and open to the public June 6-7th.

The JPalm runway is invite only due to strict capacity limits, but on the Sunday the runway film will be projected in the gallery for all to enjoy. There is also a free Designer Talk with James Dobson (@jimmyd_was_here ), Nathan Taare (@ofbody.nz ) and Dr Chelsea Nichols (@ridiculously_interesting ) and I at 11am on Sunday 7th.

COMMON MATERIAL is a celebration of Wellington creativity, talent and community - not to be missed 🖤
