The tonal prints and hues and natural organic textiles of Kowtow’s latest collection are an alluring selection at Lily & Esther in Clyde this spring.

“I could not go past the beautiful greens and verdant botanical prints that Kowtow have showcased in this new spring range,” says owner Anna McRitchie.

The Foliage Dress is a relaxed boxy tee style fit made from midweight organic cotton featuring a forest canopy print.

“This dress and the Classic A-Line Dress with its relaxed shape through the body are the kinds of dresses which are ideal to just throw before going into town after a day in the garden,” says Anna. “The new Kowtow Joan Dress features balloon sleeves in a very cool forest stripe print that can be worn on its own or over the matching Athena pants or jeans for a structured yet uncluttered look.”

KATE SLYVESTER

 Well-known New Zealand fashion designer Kate Sylvester has produced  her last spring clothing range signalling she is bowing out after a long career in the industry.

“Kate’s designs epitomise New Zealand style and her denim pieces are second to none. We have her classic denim dress instore in midi-length style and the denim shorts in dark indigo with both featuring top stitching.”

“We also have three signature tee-shirts available that are sure to become collectors’ items,” says Anna. “They include the exclusive Dessert Rose, Lotus and Desert Stripe designs in black cotton.”
