Cult Gaia, Design District

GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Shop

Walking into Cult Gaia, a women’s boutique newly opened in the Design District, is like visiting an exclusive, invite-only museum. The front facade is crafted out of 1,800 hand-painted blue tiles, and the first thing that draws the eye when walking in is an abstract concrete figure of a woman’s silhouette that looks like it belongs at the Guggenheim — appropriate, given the brand’s mission of creating women’s clothes that are objets d’arte. This location is the lifestyle and resortwear brand’s fourth store (after NYC, LA, and St. Barts), and a must-visit for those seeking a (potentially museum-worthy) statement piece. –Katelin Stecz
