London’s iconic Roundhouse sets the stage for COS Autumn Winter 2021 having previously inspired artists, filmmakers, and avant-garde productions while providing endless possibilities to young creative communities. Projecting colour, light and movement onto a blank canvas within this unique venue, the show unifies the audience in a physical and digital space, emotively drawing the curtains open to an evolved direction for the brand.
Laidback and effortless, COS approaches the season with both functionally and style at the forefront of design. Nodding to streetwear and utilitarian styling, meticulous construction and intrinsic details take centre stage. Zips and seams are exposed, playing with traditional design, while archetypal garments are re-engineered; tailored suit trousers adopt unexpected utilitarian pockets, allowing for a relaxed feel. Inspired by 1970s-style graphic jacquard, landscapes, and earthy textures, statement knits are reworked into vests and jumpers using modern techniques and sustainably sourced materials.
