Float: two pink pyjamas above the clouds

If you've ever wanted to stay in your pyjamas all day with your head in the clouds, Float is your cover.

In the image I'm sitting, literally, on a pink cloud, in satin pyjamas of the same colour, barefoot and gazing into the distance. Behind me, standing and turning towards the camera, another guy in matching striped pyjamas. The sky is candyfloss between pink and lilac, and at the top the title appears written with a brush, along with a little heart.

I find it a very tender and very camp image at the same time. Two people who share pyjamas, who share a cloud, but who don't quite look at each other. One seems to be in his own world; the other, focused on something outside the frame. Are they together? Have they just met? Is it a Sunday-morning dream?

The title sums it up in a single English word: float. That state in which you weigh nothing, in which nothing ties you to the ground.

Put it on when you feel like switching off from the noise and staying up there for a while, on your cloud, without explaining yourself to anyone.
