kowtow

Founded in 2006 by Gosia Piatek, a former refugee from Poland who settled in New Zealand, Kowtow was built on a foundation of ethical and environmental responsibility. With a vision to prove that fashion could be both sustainable and stylish, the brand committed to using 100% certified Fairtrade organic cotton, ensuring transparency from seed to garment. This approach was pioneering at a time when sustainability was not a mainstream fashion conversation. The brand’s signature style is defined by its minimalist, architectural, and often androgynous silhouettes, featuring clean lines, functional details like pockets, and a palette of neutral and earth-toned colors. Collections consist of elevated essentials, from structured shirting and soft knitwear to relaxed dresses and utilitarian outerwear, designed to form a timeless, modular wardrobe.
