Diving headfirst into the ethereal realms of the universe is Cosmic Roach, a homegrown artisanal brand that leverages the power of design to take us on a mesmerizing journey through the cosmos. Each shirt encapsulates a story, employing vivid and imaginative visuals to transport the wearer to unknown worlds. Inspired by both ancient tribal art and the mysteries of outer space, the brand weaves together cosmic motifs, celestial patterns, and extraterrestrial creatures to create a visually stunning tapestry.
With Bangalore-based artist Preran Rai as the visionary at its helm, the brand cultivates a resonance with our growing fascination with the unknown, evoking a sense of wonder and curiosity. Infusing the designs with elements of the mystical and the cosmic, the artist taps into our collective fascination with the universe, bridging the gap between the earthly and the extraterrestrial. Through this fusion of art and fashion, the brand is redefining contemporary design, appealing to those who seek a sense of adventure in their clothing.
Cosmic Roach's commitment to sustainability is woven into its brand identity. By utilizing a blend of hemp and bamboo, the brand ensures that its garments are not only visually captivating but also eco-friendly. Hemp, known for its durability and minimal ecological impact, pairs perfectly with bamboo's softness and breathability, resulting in shirts that are not only gentle on the skin but also kind to the planet.
Through Cosmic Roach's designs, Preran masterfully communicates a sense of interconnectedness, blurring the boundaries between human and extraterrestrial, ancient and futuristic. The cosmic creatures depicted on each shirt embody a spiritual and harmonious coexistence with nature, fostering a deeper appreciation for our earthly surroundings. In this way, the brand's visuals transcend mere fashion statements, becoming artistic catalysts for introspection and environmental awareness.
