ON THE STREET Jontee Bowater is a café worker, singer and producer who has graced the stages of the UK, Germany and New Zealand. His style usually includes ‘something loud’. What are you wearing? Levi’s jeans and Timberland boots with a silk shirt I got from my grandad and a leather belt made by my flatmate back in Berlin. What is your style? My style is driven mostly by the way my clothes make me feel. Usually something loud is thrown into the mix. What is most of your wardrobe made up of? Block colours and loud patterns. If I hold on to an item you can almost guarantee it’s because it’s full of memories. What are you loving at the moment? Silk shirts and rugby shorts. What are you dressed for today? I’m heading to a friend’s place to work on some music together. Where do you buy most of your clothes from? I find most of my favourite clothes in op shops, but I always keep an eye out for new design ideas that I can find to fit my budget, or pay some talented friends to replicate them for me. What is your all-time favourite purchase? When I was in high school I worked at Ambrosia washing dishes and saved up to buy a pair of fluorescent high top Nike Air Force ones. I loved them so hard I walked through the bottom of the soles! What wardrobe item should everyone invest in? Something that makes you feel a little different in a good way. What pushes you outside your comfort zone? Normies. Anyone living like a mannequin encourages me to shake things up a little. If you could raid one person’s wardrobe, who would it be? David Bowie. Finish this sentence – You would never catch me wearing… Fire truck red.
