COS unveils S/S 2026 collection in Korea
COS RETURNED to the runway for its first show in Korea, presenting the house’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection in Seoul, following itinerant shows across Europe and four consecutive appearances on September’s New York Fashion Week schedule. Exploring the language of cinematic beauty, each piece reflects a balance of 1980s and ’90s nostalgia. Forty distinctive looks revealed a palette of slate greys, warm browns, creams, and whites, establishing tonal harmony and a sense of understated uniformity. Accents of blue and deep oxblood red punctuated the collection with richness and depth. Leather and technical fabrications carry a subtle sheen, emphasizing intentional drape and sculptural form; paper-like surfaces introduce crinkled tactility, while linen adds textural depth. In womenswear, a distilled simplicity reminiscent of ’90s minimalism clarifies the silhouette, softened by fine, sheer ribbed knits across dresses and coordinating styles, while strong shoulders introduce a subtle nod to ’80s power dressing. Signature tailoring is reimagined through fluid fabrics and controlled draping, as trompe l’oeil denim, rendered in silk, offers a modern interpretation of set dressing. Silk recurs throughout the collection: softly pleated in the atelier, sculpted into an off-shoulder gown, and expressed through a signature shirt. Material manipulation continues throughout softly gathered looks, elegantly draped on the stand, while transitional outerwear creates a contrast between classicism and modernity, innovation and artistry. The looks are completed with supple leather plimsolls, architecturally heeled mules, and bags crafted in complementary fabrications. In Menswear, transitional outerwear evokes a sense of modern heritage, while relaxed tailoring, cut in slimmer silhouettes, captures skillful construction. Pared-back utility references emerge through functional detailing, while tonal ensembles inspired by ’80s styling offer a fresh interpretation of the contemporary uniform. Suede introduces a quiet yet assured sense of luxury to warm-weather dressing. Accessories finish the looks with timeless soft leather sandals and effortless loafers. A selection of the show items is available immediately at COS stores and on cos.com.
