Cos returned to New York City on Sunday afternoon for its fall 2025 collection runway show filled with quiet yet strong takes on the minimalist spirit that the brand is known for.
“We really wanted to put a point of view across in the new silhouette, which is a little bit more waisted, but we still wanted to keep the sort of effortless feeling that is so core to Cos,” creative director Karin Gustafsson said postshow.
She cited loose inspirations of the ‘50s for open necklines and a few cinched, feminine cuts, but a majority of the minimalist-bent, dark-hued collection sought to offer smart yet effortless dress by reinventing the classics. For instance, semi-sheer mulberry silk turtlenecks had long built-in scarves that wrapped around the neck and hung atop cozy shearling coats, while many great double-faced wool coats had slightly nipped-in waists with subtle sculptural appeal. She also reimagined heritage checks in tight turtlenecks, one of the styles rolling out now into the H&M-owned brand’s stores — and cool paper bag-esque crinkly clutches, to name two.
Gustafsson said mixing the soft with structured in rich materials was a key element across men’s and women’s, such as breezy crinkled satin sets and draped and caped silk looks against cocooning, high-neck coats, sleek leather jackets, capes and utility-bent tailoring.
