Brought to you by Cotton
Whether you’re on the street, in the office or at home, chances are that cotton is all around you. Throughout history, the iconic material has been a go-to source for fashion and home goods and is an integral part of one’s daily routine. From the pieces that make up one’s home to the staples that act as the foundation of our wardrobe, cotton knows no bounds.
Cotton reminds us of that favorite t-shirt that is never too old to throw away and the feeling of crisp bed sheets when we wake up. A cotton napkin reinforces traditional etiquette while a crisp blazer exudes success and confidence at work. The re-occurring presence of cotton in our daily lives illustrates the textile’s versatility. The material is unlike any on the market today and is as dynamic in its simplest forms as it is when used to create premium goods.
Cotton is truly the fabric of our lives. Our generation’s love of cotton can be described as a cultural phenomenon and is showcased in ‘Common Threads’, Cotton’s latest film series.
The series is a split screen cinematic experience that follows the lives of individuals who use and interact with cotton daily. The campaign reminds us that ‘Common threads are everywhere. You just need to look.'
