KOWTOW
KOWTOW
Using Kowtow's iconic stripe, this design blends a floral cutout with a folded form, creating a dynamic interplay of structure, movement, and nature. Playfully arranged and layered, it balances simplicity and harmony.
This design was printed locally on an AS Colour Martina women’s mid-weight, 100% cotton tee. This tee is a relaxed fit, dropped shoulder with a longer sleeve, wider in the body, and mid-length. (Shorter in length than the Maple Tee).
Kowtow is an independent label founded by Gosia Piatek in Wellington. For seventeen years their garments have been made naturally from a single fibre, Fairtrade organic cotton. Kowtow holds certifications with Fairtrade, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and BCorp. They take responsibility for what they produce, how they operate their business and are actively working on solutions to reduce their footprint. The clothing forms a modular wardrobe and can be worn again and again, year after year. This is a cause that is close to all of us, being able to contribute to the future of women’s health and wellbeing through our design work has been a great collaboration.
