Art often influences fashion and COS' capsule collection, which drew inspiration from the artist Dorothea Rockburne, perfectly exemplifies this concept.
The collection beautifully blends functionality with design, offering consumers a line of practical pieces that double as wardrobe staples. The line drew its primary inspiration from he artist's show at the Dia:Beacon gallery, which was influenced by mathematics and geometry. With this in mind, COS designed a gorgeous line that adheres to the brand's aesthetic with looks that are "minimal upon first glance but that have a lot going on beneath the surface, including origami-hemmed shirts and tote bags that look like crumpled paper."
This partnership hopes to spark a new relationship between art and fashion, inspiring others in these fields to collaborate with one another.
