PRESS RELEASES
For Isomorph Records & Topshop are here for your reference.
Look forward to seeing you all at the TOPSHOP event on Friday and Saturday. Come walkie talkie with me through the glass.
Kate Moross for Topshop S/S ‘08
Kate Moross – quickly becoming one of the most prolific new young illustrators and designers, has created a S/S ’08 capsule collection of printed T-shirts, vests and jumpers exclusively for Topshop.
Six jersey pieces feature science-inspired graphics. Motifs include hand drawn, psychedelic organic designs, intertwined with structured spacial shapes and astrophysical typography.
On Friday 25 January Kate will be part of Topshop’s first live art installation, to be held in the Oxford Circus flagship. Filmed live by TOPSHOP.COM and broadcast via a podcast, the hand drawn window will be a spectacle in itself .
Kate comments:
“This is an great opportunity for me. Topshop have given me the creative freedom and scope to produce something exciting, for a brand new audience…Graphic design is a science as much as it is an art. I aim to explore science and theory through the medium of illustration, which can breathe new life into these subjects and help to communicate them in an exciting way”
Editor’s Notes:
Kate Moross for Topshop will be available in selected stores and online at TOPSHOP.COM from 25 January 2008.
Kate Moross began her career by creating flyers for hip London clubs and bands including The Mystery Jets. She has produced commercial illustrations for Cadburys and Sony. Whilst contributing to Nylon, Vice and Dazed, Kate also runs her own record label Isomorphs, and is due to publish her own book this year. 2008 will also see exciting new collaborations with new Era and Nike.
Hot Young Design Talent Kate Moross Launches Art-Driven Record Label
We all know that a killer sleeve can sell a record without so much as a listen, but at a time when accumulating albums is as easy as pressing ‘download’ on a computer screen, the music industry’s infatuation with design (not to mention good old fashioned record collecting) is fast becoming a doomed love affair. Dismayed by the recent spate of download-only releases, designer, illustrator and vinyl enthusiast Kate Moross has taken matters into her own hands with the launch of Isomorph, the world’s first art-driven record label.
Launched in November 2007, Isomorph aims to repackage existing music, paying attention to the aesthetic of each record and revelling in the joy of print process, high production value and most of all, the vinyl format. “Each release is a limited edition numbered copy with the first fifty signed and only available from www.isomorphs.com,” says Moross. “Kind of like a series of artists prints that you can listen to.”
The first band to have been treated to the Isomorph touch are Cutting Pink with Knives who have re-released their Populuxxe LP on tasty ten inch emerald vinyl. Crafting a custom candy-hued origami typeface, Moross has packaged it into a reversible gatefold sleeve complete with a linear illustration demonstrating the evolution of a piece of origami paper into a folded bird.
Isomorph is fast attracting new disciples keen to see their music immortalized not only tangibly, but also in the artwork canon, and new releases are scheduled until September 2008. The first will be dance two-piece HeartsRevolution’s Switchblade EP, due for release in April and limited to 200 copies. And what’s more, this year will see Isomorph grow to encompass a publishing house for forthcoming books designed by Moross.
“Where most labels would scrimp and save, Isomorph aims to indulge in all aspects of vinyl releases, creating collectors’ editions in small print numbers”

“Kate Moross seems to be able to turn anything she touches in 27million carat gold”
VICE MAGAZINE
“Dazed loves Kate Moross, but she makes us sick. Barely in her second decade of life, Kate has managed to build up, develop and promote her designs at a disarming rate. Something of a renegade among the youth of London, Kate has put in the hours and worked hard to get recognition, utilising her talent in ways that is seldom seen nowadays. May the Kate Moross empire reign supreme.” DAZED & CONFUSED
