COS collaborates with Stephen Doherty
COS’ latest collaboration is with Manchester-based, multi-disciplinary artist Stephen Doherty. Limited-edition pieces adorned with exclusive floral artwork, crafted using Mr. Doherty’s unique ink and water technique, evoke the epitomé of summer dressing. The 17-piece collection features Doherty’s florals reimagined on canvas of silk and linen, transforming classic COS silhouettes. Set dressing is embraced throughout the capsule, with each garment designed to be interchanged and styled in endless ways, dressed up or down to suit the mood or occasion. Delicately beaded embroidery embellishes bandeau tops, while unique waistband finishes provide versatile styling and a functional element to the collection. The floral print is also embraced on accessories, reworked onto a leather mule and silk scarves. The capsule is available online and at the COS Store at SM Aura Premier.
Fendi turns to astrology in capsule collection
FOR SUMMER 2023, Fendi introduces the Astrology capsule, a swim and beachwear collection created for every star sign under the sun. The summer collection draws on iconic collections from the House’s archives — Spring/Summer 1990 and Spring/Summer 1993 — alongside key codes established by Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear Kim Jones. It features pieces adapted from Fendi’s recent ready-to-wear offering which can be worn from day to night in a palette of white, pink, blue, brown, orange and black with written signs of the zodiac (in English and Italian) and astrological prints originally drawn by Karl Lagerfeld. There are draped satin kaftans and dresses as well as separates and blousons featuring the Astrology print, all designed to be layered over swimwear. There is also an array of languid summer knits — from airy crochet dresses subtly inset with the FF logo, to body-skimming viscose and boyish cashmere jumpers. Sun-bleached denim and silk jersey complete the offer. Menswear by Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear Silvia Venturini Fendi adopts a similar energy: louche tailoring and slouching fits for the season. Astrology-printed silk shirts, nylon boardshorts, and jersey Ts make the perfect beachfront wardrobe while silk and cotton separates, alongside denim and gabardine outerwear, present elevated accompaniments. For both men and women, there are accessories matching the collection, including bags and footwear and jewelry. Fendi has shops at Greenbelt 3 and The Shoppes at Solaire.
