I’ve recently connected with an upcoming clothing brand entitled COSSAC. Their modern minimalistic styles focus on construction and quality while also making a movement towards eco fashion by designing affordable ECO-HOT garments. I spoke with designer Agatka Natalia Kozac to talk about how she got started! Read more below:
1. Give us a little background on yourself
2. How did you get into fashion and fashion design?
I’m originally from Poland. I lived and studied fashion design in Barcelona and Istanbul before I moved to London 5 years ago to work as a fashion designer. I have worked for many brands across high street and high end which gave me insight of how wasteful fashion industry can be. I always wanted to have my own brand and starting a sustainable fashion label was a natural next step after all my professional experiences.
3. What is your biggest inspiration when designing?
I think of our everyday needs but add a trend twist to them. I find it very exciting how in fashion design you can combine art and functionality. I take my inspirations from travels, magazines, fashion history, art exhibitions and catwalks but most importantly from observing everyday life and street style.
4. What does the COSSAC brand represent?
COSSAC stands for ECO HOT design; we embrace the idea of sustainability, promoting eco fashion and clothing with a lower environmental impact. From a perfect white tee to eye-catching statement pieces, each season we create a minimal and sleek collection that adapt to the current fashion trends yet stays timeless. Our mission is to promote transparency in the fashion world and to produce quality garments that are sustainable in both manufacture and design, without sacrificing on style. Our garments are an alternative to the often-wasteful fashion industry; we want to start a change in the way people perceive fashion and want to promote more responsible and conscious consumer behaviours. So ask yourself; ‘How are my clothes made?’
5. What are your goals for COSSAC in the coming years?
We want to promote the brand in other countries; especially in the US and far East Asia. We have a lot of interesting collaborations planned with other brands, artists and photographers. We want to continue our mission of educating the customer and proving that sustainable fashion can be fresh, sassy and ECO HOT.
