Mr Porter collaborates with Swedish brand COS for a summer 2015 capsule collection entitled The Modern Traveller. The limited-edition collection includes 23 pieces that reflect choice menswear essentials. Discussing the smart lineup, Mr Porter senior buyer Sam Lobban explains, “This range sums up the COS brand ethos: to create clean contemporary pieces with a focus on timeless style above seasonal trend. It’s this design-led attitude that resonated with us on a creative level at Mr Porter. We’re proud to collaborate with COS–this simple yet super interesting range deserves a global platform and the Mr Porter customer is the perfect audience.”
COS Head of Menswear Design Martin Andersson continues, “In addition to sharing similar brand values, we feel that Mr Porter is a pioneer in their area of expertise. In this contemporary setting of the ‘information age’, they continue to lead in adapting the latest technology, information sharing and pioneering design-led fashion. For ‘The Modern Traveller’, we wanted to create a collection that reinterpreted function for every occasion–a collection where the tailored suit can take you from a business meeting in NYC to an art gallery opening in the evening.” Shop the collection from May 7, 2015 on at MrPorter.com.
