Cosmic Dealer x INDI&COLD
An irresistible collab.
This season, it was a match from the first minute. INDI&COLD x Cosmic Dealer had to become a reality. Its universe, between the cosmic and the sensory, naturally connected with our SS26 inspiration: Cosmic Nature.
Cosmic Dealer redefines chocolate: unexpected recipes, natural ingredients and a way healthier focus (way less sugar and zero additives). And everything is wrapped in an imaginary universe that we’re obsessed with.

Today we entered a little more in its world with Monique Foy, the founder.
How did you come up with Cosmic Dealer? And what sets you apart from other brands?
Cosmic Dealer really came from a personal shift. I had fallen into a pretty intense sugar habit and couldn’t find anything that felt indulgent but was actually clean. Everything “better-for-you” was full of sugar alcohols or weird fibres that didn’t feel like real food. I wanted something that felt like a treat but was made with intention.
What sets us apart is that we never compromise on that. No shortcuts, no artificial sweeteners, no ultra-processed ingredients. We make products that feel comforting and beautiful, but that your body actually recognizes.
Where did your cosmic, distinctive, and symbolism-rich visual universe come from, and how did it develop?
I felt like so much of the food industry is driven by the wrong intentions : speed, cost, addiction. Cosmic Dealer is really about coming back to Cosmic balance in what we eat, as in reconnecting with nature and with something more intuitive.
From the beginning, I wanted each product to start with an energetic intention. Whether it’s strength, love, or connection, that’s where we begin . And then we build the recipe from there.
For example, when we wanted to create a chocolate around love, we went with a green matcha that represents the green of the heart chakra. And the visual universe just became a natural extension of that – a way to express those intentions in a more emotional and symbolic way.
Your current work area is very different than ours, but what role does fashion play in your life?
I worked in the fashion industry for 10 years before launching Cosmic Dealer, so it’s always been something that speaks to me quite naturally.
I love how fashion evolves with you throughout your life. I can look back at things I wore when I was 15 and laugh. But I also love that they mark different chapters, moments and emotions. Clothes are so intrinsically linked to memories and how you felt at a certain time.
These days, I tend to gravitate towards pieces that are comfortable. but still have personality.
Even if we know that it’s difficult to just pick one. What’s your favorite piece from the INDI&COLD’s SS26 collection?
I was immediately drawn to the blue oversized shirt. It’s so versatile, you can dress it up or down. I’m very into oversized shirts at the moment!
What attracted you to the collaboration with INDI&COLD, and how have you experienced it?
Energy first, always! From the beginning there was a good feeling. It didn’t feel forced, more like two worlds that already spoke the same language and that had to come together.
