Solar shades and driftwood hues. The future looks bright, cued by a sanctuary of protest.
In association with Kowtow.
Kowtow’s spring/summer Prospect Sky collection is rooted in a garden — not just any garden but British gay-rights campaigner, artist, film-maker Derek Jarman’s defiant, otherworldly shingle-desert garden in Kent, England, where the only boundary was the horizon. Made from 100 per cent Fairtrade organic cotton, the inspiration ties into rugged, resourceful beauty and circularity, too. ‘Unmaking’ the cotton into biochar, and returning this moisture-retaining substance to the earth, closes the loop, feeding the soil that sustains us.
