This summer, COS has teamed up with the Serpentine Gallery for Park Nights, a series of events, screenings and talks taking place at Sou Fujimoto’s Serpentine Pavilion. To celebrate the collaboration, the brand has created two limited edition shirts for men and women inspired by the white cloud-like form of the pavilion. “The shirt is a key staple of the Cos collection; its versatility and timelessness make it the perfect addition to every man and woman’s wardrobe,” Karin Gustafsson, Cos’ head of womenswear design, told Vogue, “The design of the woman’s shirt we have specially created for The Serpentine, is inspired by architectural lines and shapes. It is in a soft blue hue creating a connection to the wonderful design of the summer pavilion.”
