      Launched in November 2019, the More Joy capsule range developed from Christopher Kane's Autumn Winter 2018 show. It featured slogans based on the typography from the erotic guide The Joy of Sex. The juxtaposition of the More Joy slogan onto a pandemic mask could be interpreted as either optimistic or dystopian.
