FQ‘s top picks include the Deco Earrings, a reimagined 1920s design with feminine fluidity, and the Dome Collar, a statement necklace designed to be a reflective symbol of renewal and interconnectedness.

3. Tailored Landscapes

The weather might be starting to cool but the second drop of Kowtow’s effortless ‘Landscapes’ collection has arrived just in time to ease the transition into the cooler months. The collection marks an exciting new chapter for the Aotearoa brand under the creative direction of Dayne Johnston, the former menswear designer at Zambesi. Crafted from Fairtrade organic cotton, ‘Landscapes’ blends workwear with refined tailoring, offering versatile silhouettes that play with proportion and texture. Highlights from this latest drop include the Rosa Tee, a crochet knit with floral motifs, the voluminous Eclipse dress in trending polka dots, and the Tide Jumper, with its graphic wave pattern and textured stitch.
