Aventura Mall, South Florida’s premier shopping destination, welcomes the arrival of Cult Gaia, the celebrated brand known for its artful designs and striking statement pieces.

In a captivating collaboration with T__M, spearheaded by Tanil Raif and Mario Serrano, the pop-up transcends traditional retail. It stands as both an artifact and an experience, evoking the raw beauty of weathered stone, fractured landscapes, and the timeless allure of ancient forms. Inspired by Gaia, the mythological mother of all life, the installation feels organically unearthed, a testament to enduring natural beauty rather than mere construction.
"Aventura Mall’s vibrant energy and reputation as a nexus of luxury fashion and art make it the perfect stage for Cult Gaia’s evolving narrative,"
shares Jasmin Larian Hekmat, Founder of Cult Gaia. "This space is more than a pop-up; it's a continuation of our brand’s journey, where nature, art, and design converge in an environment that feels simultaneously ancient and avant-garde. We are drawn to locations that spark discovery and creativity, and Aventura Mall provides an ideal canvas for this immersive exploration."
Like a rediscovered ruin, sculpted by time and unveiled by nature's elements, the space embodies Cult Gaia’s core ethos—where Gaia, art, and design seamlessly intertwine. Modular architectural fragments, reminiscent of a lost civilization, rise from the ground, creating a dramatic yet organic backdrop for the brand’s exquisite fashion. These fragmented, elemental forms serve as sculptural pedestals, showcasing Cult Gaia’s iconic accessories and garments.
“At Aventura Mall, we curate experiences that fuse fashion, art, and culture,”
states Jackie Soffer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Turnberry. “Cult Gaia’s pop-up perfectly aligns with this vision, offering our guests an exclusive opportunity to engage with the brand’s artful designs in an inspiring and immersive setting.”
This opening marks Cult Gaia’s seventh retail venture, solidifying its expanding presence in key markets. The Cult Gaia Aventura pop-up, officially opening its doors on March 15, 2025, at 19501 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33180, invites the Aventura community to experience the brand’s distinctive aesthetic firsthand.
