WEAR YOUR PRIDE

THE London-based clothing brand COS (www.cosstores. com) celebrates the spirit of living and loving authentically together with artist Coco Capitán.

Discover the T-shirt capsule collection by Coco, featuring three unique designs in her signature handwriting style to share messages of love, freedom and inclusivity.

“ALWAYS LOVE BECAUSE LOVE IS ALWAYS LOVE” is a shout-out to love in all its forms, available at COS Manila SM Aura Premier.

Two other designs—“a BOYFRIEND CALLED MY GIRLFRIEND” and “WOULD YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND GIRL QUEER Friend?”—explore gender orientations, inspired by Coco’s personal relationships, available in COS EU and the US. The designs are embroidered onto an organic heavyweight cotton T-shirt to lend a boxy, structured fit, and will be available in unisex sizing.

Alongside the T-shirts, a special edition of the repurposed cotton tote will also be available. Featuring the colors of the Progress Pride flag, the tote utilizes excess cotton from the brand’s production process—durable, made to replace disposable packaging and 100 percent recyclable.

The brand stands with the LGBT+ community, committed to building a brand where everyone is free to be themselves, whomever they choose to love. Funds raised from the sales of these products will be donated to Philippine-based LGBT+ organizations, such as Galang (www.galangphilippines. org), a female-led non-profit organization working with and for economically disadvantaged LGBTQI; and Love Yourself (www.loveyourself.ph), a non-profit LGBT organization that provides safe spaces and services for the sexual, mental and transgender community in the Philippines.
