CDG PLAY x Invader Pixel Heart Cardigan
For the first time, the Filip Pagowski-designed heart is gone, replaced with a custom-designed pixel version in the style of Invader’s inimitable 8-bit artworks. Invader is the anonymous French street artist known for pixelating the well-known logo into a character from the vintage video game Space Invaders. This cardigan applies that treatment to the chest patch, appliqued in its usual spot at the chest, but rendered entirely in blocky, retro-gaming pixels instead of the familiar heart-with-eyes shape.
Highlights: black, embroidered red heart, front button closure, long sleeves, v-neck, straight hem.

Why the Invader Collaboration Works
Invader’s reputation comes from 8-bit artworks installed in cities around the world, instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with early video game pixel art. Swapping the classic Pagowski heart for a pixelated version isn’t a small tweak, it’s the first time CDG PLAY has replaced its founding logo entirely for a collaboration, which makes this cardigan a genuinely different object within the PLAY range rather than just another colourway of the same design.
How to Wear It
Buttoned over a plain tee
Lets the pixel heart sit as the clear graphic focus without anything else competing.
With other CDG PLAY or Invader collaboration pieces
The pixel heart appears across cardigans, tees, and other pieces from the same collaboration, so the look extends naturally across a full outfit if you’re building around the theme.
Sizing
Standard CDG PLAY sizing applies. It’s recommended to order one size up from your usual size.
Care Instructions
Hand wash cold or dry clean to preserve the wool construction. Lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting, which can distort the wool fibres. Store folded rather than on a hanger to prevent stretching at the shoulders.
