For Global Pride Month in 2022, Fashion brand COS collaborated with creators from the LGBTQIA+ community on a capsule that celebrates loving without boundaries. 100% of the profits from sales were donated to charities Kaleidoscope Trust and Choose Love.

 I worked with the COS team and indie French musician and actor, SOKO to bring SOKO’s concept and vision to life with an illustration for this limited-edition T-Shirt.

Made from cotton, this T-shirt by SOKO is embroidered with Oh, To Be a Rainbow!, inspired by her song of the same name.

“What inspired the track Oh, To Be a Rainbow! was that I wanted my own version of a gay anthem: something that would be a good reminder of all the things it takes to be the full spectrum of a rainbow. You need to have a full range of emotions because rainbows are made from sun and rain. Everything in between is magical. It's about accepting who you are and your feelings, accepting good days and bad days and accepting that the magic comes from a balance of both. It’s the queer and indie version of a gay anthem and is not out there in the pop world.

I used that line as inspiration for the T-shirts and I was like, ‘Oh, I want to do cross-stitch embroidery’. I really wanted it to be old style, vintage looking and to be super bright, colourful, playful and childish. I wanted it to look like it's been made by your grandma who's accepting of all the queers. I did this for a little child to be like, ‘Listen, you could be whatever’. That was the idea behind it.”
