For the past decade, COS has stayed true to its philosophy; to offer high-quality wardrobe staples as well as re-invented classics with a modern, timeless, functional and tactile design. Since its first store opened on London’s Regent Street in 2007, COS has grown globally and in turn built a strong relationship with the art and design world. The brand’s seasonal collections have always been influenced by art and design and has done collaborative projects with established and upcoming artists, designers and institutions and to date have worked on over 30 projects across Europe, Asia and the USA.
“We are proud of how the brand has grown over the last ten years. We are pleased and humbled that our customers have continued to appreciate our approach and engage with our collections, stores and collaborative projects with the art and design world,” said Marie Honda, COS Managing Director.
To celebrate the brand’s anniversary COS created a 10 piece capsule collection with garments for women, men and children. Each garment’s pattern is created like a jigsaw with the full width of the fabric used, one shape deciding another, limiting any excess to create a clean and considered collection with collapsing volumes and rectilinear silhouettes.
Soft double layered panels are seen in a long-length shirt dress and men’s technical jacket with functional double-pockets. Japanese influences are apparent in the square-cut proportions of a men’s top and a women’s coat featuring kimono-style sleeves.

Childrenswear features playful appliqué on a dress and shirt.
The collection will be made with light fabrications of crisp cotton and technical polyester in a pared-back palette of sand and white.
“The design team took the opportunity to play and experiment in the pattern-cutting process, re-imagining the methods behind the design. The pattern-cutters and designers worked in parallel, referencing historical techniques that maximised the use of materials. As we look to the future we will continue to focus on the efficient use of fabrics and forward-thinking techniques,” said Karin Gustafsson, COS Creative Director.
The COS 10 Year Anniversary Capsule collection will go on sale from the 24th March 2017 and will be available to buy worldwide in store and on cosstores.com .
