Step aside, event dressing worries—COS has once again raised the sartorial bar with its latest offering: the COS Atelier Collection. For those of us who believe in the transformative power of a pre-planned event-ready ensemble, this collection is an invitation to indulge.
While COS is our usual go-to for understated and high-quality essentials, the Atelier Collection takes that ethos to a whole new level. A love letter to event dressing, each piece in the capsule collection has been expertly designed by the in-house atelier team, blending their principles of luxury and exceptional design with the clean silhouettes and thoughtful construction we have come to expect from the brand.
Inspired by high fashion runways and haute-couture silhouettes, the collection features a mix of perfectly tailored event-ready separates, fluid silk dresses, and statement-making pieces that effortlessly straddle the line between art and fashion. While the colour palette leans towards muted neutrals, unexpected pops of bright orange, khaki, and rich terracotta bring just the right amount of trend-led interest. From statement floor-length gowns to 90s-inspired slip dresses and perfectly cut tailoring, keep scrolling below to shop our must-have pieces from the collection.
