Kowtow Loves #05

Nadia Reid is a musician, originally from Port Chalmers in Aotearoa New Zealand. Nadia has been a friend of ours for a long time. Her reflective lyrics and dreamy soundscapes often soar through the Kowtow stores. Now living in London, with a new album due to be released early next year, she’s returning to our shores to tour across New Zealand and Australia. We spoke to Nadia in anticipation of her first show back home.

Kowtow Loves #02

Loneliness is a shared experience that often goes overlooked. After experiencing this herself, Sophie McIntyre founded Club Sup - a supper club for people to make authentic and lasting connections across Melbourne and Sydney. The idea of shared connection through food, music, literature and art is something we often discuss at the Kowtow Workroom and Sophie’s approach to fostering community and connections is one we admire. We spoke to Sophie about the inception of Club Sup, her experience at these events and the most worn piece in her wardrobe.
