As part of Warner Bros.’ 80 Years of Tweety celebration, Spanish label Bershka has teamed with Valencian designer and artist Coté Escrivá, and Warner Bros. Discovery for a collection honouring the beloved canary.
Taking his inspiration from street art, pop culture and cartoons, Coté is known for his darkly humorous reinterpretations of classic characters from the world of animation.
For the Tweety x Coté Escrivá x Bershka apparel collection, he has applied his signature style to Tweety and his nemesis Sylvester, playing with a monochrome palette – with hints of pink – and bold graphics to bring out a new, unexpected side to everyone’s favourite yellow bird.
Highlights in the collection include a slouchy white hoodie with a Sylvester the Cat print on the front; a short-sleeved shirt featuring an all-over print of flowers and bones; an oversized black sweatshirt featuring Tweety in skeleton form; an embroidered baseball cap and a bucket hat.
Bershka has also added some of Coté’s designs from the Tweety capsule collection to the Custom Lab on its app, which allows fashion fans to customise their garments or accessories for a truly unique look.
Warner Bros. kicked off its 80 Years of Tweety campaign earlier this year by commissioning a diverse group of artists worldwide to design 80 original murals reflecting Tweety’s rich history and dynamic personality.
Works of art by Coté will appear inside two of Bershka’s flagship stores in Madrid and Milan.
Additional murals are appearing in numerous countries including the US, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, and more. In the US, Tweety murals will be seen in more than 30 cities. Tweety’s signature yellow colour runs through the designs of the murals, but the artists’ different styles make each one unique.
