Where Tailoring Meets Street — Inside LOWF's "Japandi" Capsule
Summary
Melbourne's fashion scene has a quiet disruptor and its name isLOWF. Crafted for what the label calls the 'modern curator,' LOWF blends precision tailoring with a streetwear edge while producing capsule collections that have quietly gained cult status among cultural icons.
Founded in 2020 by Creative DirectorSione Taufa, LOWF reflects Taufa's lived experience: from his upbringing in his mother's tailoring studio to absorbing global design language through travel and sport. It's a story stitched into every garment and steeped in craftsmanship, culture and intention. The label has already earned organic cosigns from heavyweights like The Roots, Sampha and Oddisee, the latter of whom tapped LOWF as his exclusive tour partner across Australia and New Zealand.
Their latest capsule, 'Japandi,' has cemented LOWF's reputation for fusing clean design with cultural depth. Inspired by the harmony of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality, the drop reinterprets traditional workwear through a refined lens with standouts like the Kyoto Box Pleat Pants and Axis Quilted Vest having already sold out, with a waitlist growing by the day.
Collaborations with artists like Japanese craftsman Eijiro Fukuda further underscore the brand's ethos: thoughtful design, responsible production and a deep respect for heritage, making LOWF one of Australia's most compelling fashion exports right now.
