In celebration of queer club culture and the safer spaces they provide, this Pride, COS presents a limited-edition T-Shirt capsule featuring unique designs created with four iconic club experiences worldwide; Horse Meat Disco, House of Yes, Sink The Pink, and Churros con Chocolate, continuing to support LGBTQIA+ communities internationally so that everyone can feel respected, safe, and seen.
Since before the pandemic, these spaces have declined in numbers, with several still facing battles due to transphobia, homophobia, and gentrification. The beating heart of many queer communities and an important way to be inspired – each of the collectives offer their communities a space to connect and celebrate, allowing freedom to be themselves, whether performing or in the crowd.
Embodying the creativity and individuality of each collaborator, international music festival headliners, Horse Meat Disco’s T-shirt features a bold and colourful DISCO design representing the community coming together through the love of disco and dancing, while New York-based House of Yes, a space dedicated to connection and creativity, offers a powerful heart-shaped design with interconnected lines to represent love while creating something unique and beautiful. Alongside this, legendary UK collective and advocates of self-expression, Sink The Pink, share a playful Queen of Club’s design – a beautiful representation of their legacy, and Spain’s festival of fun, Churros con Chocolate, recreate their iconic poster designs, which illustrate dress-up and their flamboyant guests.

COS will donate 100% of the profits from sales of this collaboration to support Metro Manila Pride, a volunteer-managed organisation dedicated to educating, equipping and empowering the Filipino LGBTQIA+ community, working towards a future without discrimination and prejudice.
The COS Pride collection will be available globally at cos.com and the COS Store Manila in SM Aura Premier from June.
