COS It Could Be Coming





Rumor has it that a certain sister brand of our (well my) High Street favorite H & M, is joining the cold, grey streets of Glasgow. COS (Collection of Style).
There is not much that needs to be said about this brand. It can be on mute and still speaks volumes.



COS has a great understanding of attention to detail, with their strong, subtle and minimalist approach to design. It is consistently evident in both there men’s and womenswear collections which contend with ready-to-wear but have more of an affordable price tag.

COS incorporates fashion essentials, reinvented classics, clean-cut tailoring and simplistic colour palette, which adds to their highly sophisticated, yet quirky and fresh look. You can see this in past and present collections.
COS products are designed by Rebekka Bay (women's) and Michael Kristensen (men's). I find it inspiring what these designers do, in that difficult "mid-market" place on the high street. They do not compromising on design or fabric, but they manage to make their designs affordable.



In their flagship store on Regents Street in London, new items appear in-store almost everyday. Customers will always find something new to wear, so there is a lesser chance of bumping into someone with the same outfit on. Let’s hope that Glasgow has the same system of “new items in almost everyday”. That is an excuse to be in the City Centre on a daily basis.
I am pretty certain, that a store will be opening up. Stay posted and I’ll keep you updated.
