There’s no denying that we are all about celebrating women, and celebrating girl-gang friendships. So for this month, we thought what better way to celebrate than with some custom jackets to celebrate you and your friends.
But first, here’s a quote from our favourite poet Rupi Kaur about the importance of celebrating women:
we all move forward when
we recognise how resilient
and striking the women
around us are- rupi kaur
To celebrate the month of May, aka New Zealand Music Month, we’ve asked some of our favourite New Zealand musicians to create their very own playlists for us - compiling their favourite songs, of both local and international artists.
First up is Physical, who are set to release their album ‘Ride It Out’ this year - with ‘Islands’ already being on repeat in our office everyday.
Lorde took to the 2017 Billboard Music Awards tonight to perform her latest single, ‘Green Light’, performing with a karaoke-like set-up, whilst also donning a special one-off custom ‘Melodrama’ denim jacket.

Glass Animals’ Dave Bayley recently teamed up with Spotfy to curate a very special AM/PM playlist - a 24/7 playlist made up of songs to take you from first thing in the morning, to right before you go to sleep.
In between songs, Bayley explains the significance of each song - from telling stories of adventures in Berlin with his bandmate Joe Seaward, to versing other bands on tour in football games (apparently Bonobo is quite good).
Listen to the playlist in full below…
Mac DeMarco is currently on tour around America in support of his latest album 'This Old Dog', and last night played a show in Atlanta, Georgia - where the new season of 'Stranger Things' has been filming. A selection of cast-members - Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, and Charlie Heaton - were all in attendance, with Wolfhard even playing on stage with DeMarco, as well as Keery and Heaton stage-diving into the audience at one point.
Firstly, watch Finn jamming with Mac:
In his two-hour set at The Civic Theatre last night, Ryan Adams and his band reminded the audience why he’s in a league of his own. Returning to New Zealand with a new album ‘Prisoner’ in tow - his performance mixed both old and new, much to the delight of all his fans.
Living legend Stevie Nicks joined Man Of The Times Harry Styles tonight at his intimate show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, to perform 'Leather and Lace' and 'Landslide' together live, as well as a duet of Style’s own song 'Two Ghosts'.

An hour spent with Rupi Kaur in a small room inside the Aotea Centre last night, was for many, the highlight of the entire 2017 Auckland Writers Festival - a showcase of the sheer abililty that the young Indian/Canadian poet and performer has.
"This song is very special to me and this version is my favourite stripped song I've ever done," says Halsey about her just released stripped-back live video for new song 'Eyes Closed' - lifted from her forthcoming 'Hopeless Fountain Kingdom' album (out June 2nd).
