The 2018 Spring/Summer COS collection is set to become available on March 9th from its online shop and in-store locations, however a stylized lookbook has already been shared to show consumers some of what will be included. Spotlighted in the lookbook are blazers, tanks, dresses, skirts, long shorts, simple blouses, and more.
To lens the lookbook, COS employed the talents of Karim Sadli, who photographed a model in a range of summery locations that provided the warm weather styles with a fitting backdrop. Although the styles that are presented in the lookbook are incredibly minimalist, their unique silhouettes that carry a high-quality structure give them an elevated aesthetic that makes them easy to wear for a variety of different occasions.
