Cosmic Girl Clothing Collab Launched

I’m incredibly excited to share with you one of my latest commissions, and this one is pretty out of this world (pardon the pun!). Let me introduce you to the wonderful Cosmic Girl Clothing.

A Derby based company, Cosmic Girl create beautiful retro, vintage, burlesque and pinup style clothing. These include lingerie, nightwear and outerwear, such as dresses.

Our paths crossed thanks to a mutual friend, who I know from my days back at the Kustom Culture Blast Off events. He put myself and Cosmic Girl in touch and we had a great initial chat.

With my background of creating artwork featuring empowering and confident female characters, and also my love of retro and space imagery, we immediately hit it off. I loved the concept behind their brand and my brain began to buzz with ideas for everything they were describing.

I was over the moon when Cosmic Girl said that they liked my work and that they wanted to collaborate with me.

An Interstellar Vintage Adventure

The story behind the Cosmic Girl identity is that she came to Earth in search of clothing from the most glamorous era. Naturally, she found exactly what she was searching the stars for here in England. A neat little story that accompanies their very cool retro pinup rocket girl logo.

For this latest design, recently unveiled as part of their ‘Luna’ range, Cosmic Girl has crossed time and space to land here in the swinging 60’s.

Perfect timing for an out of this world summer of love.

A Cosmic 60’s Vibe

Cosmic Girl asked me to create a design that would encapsulate the 60’s vibe. It needed to include the themes of free love and a peaceful existence, along with a nod to the groovy, and rather trippy imagery, associated with the music and visuals of that time.

Rather than featuring Comic Girl herself, the artwork would include three female characters, each representing different elements for the period.

The final design would take the form of a super vibrant and colourful multi directional repeat pattern. Something I’d never attempted before, but in doing so I completely fell in love with creating repeat patterns.

A Cosmic Girl Original

My final design is a dazzlingly vivid psychedelic repeat pattern that brings you all the colours of the rainbow. It really is design where you’ll discover more the longer you look at it.

Best of all it’s absolutely perfect for the summer and for a totally far out hippy chick festival vibe.

It’s definitely a one of a kind piece and will get you noticed!

“This original artwork is a journey through the summer of love, an evocation of a bohemian free-living, gentle movement standing out for peace in the world. The hypnotic trippy design is a multi-layered masterpiece, the more you look, the more you notice. Yes, people will stare… then they will ask if it is a genuine vintage piece from back in the day. No, it is a Cosmic Girl original.”
