High St. Opening Bash

We celebrated the opening of Michael Holmes Premium Eyewear, High St., in style  with Mr Rob Fyfe CEO of Air New Zealand officially “cutting the ribbon” and Mr Cameron Brewer former CEO of the Newmarket Business Association filling the role of MC.  A big thank you to Rob and Donna Fyfe and to Cameron Brewer.  Thank you also to Claire Goldsmith for her invaluable support of our business. Thank you also to everyone who came along and helped us get off to a great start in High St. 

And finally on behalf of those still in attendance quite late, thank you to Mr Jordan Luck for treating us to a little Dance Exponents magic and  “flashback” to the 80’s.  Mate, you’ve still got it going on!!!

High St. Is Open!

And here it is... Our fabulous new High Street store. Come on down and say hi.

Here is what Design Daily has to say:

"A respect for classic design defines optometrist Michael Holmes’ latest venture – a boutique store that opened this week in the heart of Auckland’s High Street. 
With a crisp red to deep purple graphic identity complemented by dramatically enticing black, red and white interiors, the store is the perfect showcase for Michael Holmes’ beautifully made, high-end, designer eyewear. While the store has its own unique look, it’s the second one that owner Michael Holmes has established in Auckland."


And here is Design Daily's interview with Liz Kerby, our interior designer:

"Favourite projects you have completed? 

I recently did the interior design for stores for Michael Holmes Premium Eyewear in Teed Street, Newmarket and in High Street. I understood their branding and had to get their interiors on the right track. We’d already worked together so we had formed a close relationship by the time I did the High Street store"

Auckland has retained its status as ONE of the top 5 cities in the world to live in, according to the recent Mercer 2010 Quality of Living Survey, involving no less than 39 criteria (curiously no category for availability of awesome opticians). 

Well done Auckland but we don’t need no survey to tell us you’re fabulous, which is why we’re coming straight to the heart of the city.  Premium Eyewear is opening on High St, THIS AUGUST…..WATCH THIS SPACE
