Accompanied by a campaign that is a work of art in itself, the RGB collection encompasses all of the creative discplines that Cole has used in a whimsical spirit to build the wonderful world of Creature World. Stand out pieces from this release include a thick jersey hoodie with playful Creature ears — just in time for winter — and perfect everyday accessories such as leather coin purses and socks that offer a portal into a playful universe constructed by Cole and friends.
Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.
From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively. View the collection below.
