COS brings the Twenties to New York Fashion Week With 47 looks featuring tailoring, cashmere, leather and references to the Twenties
For the fifth consecutive year, COS returned to New York Fashion Week to present its FW26 collection. The show, hosted at the WSA Building in the Financial District, in a space where architecture and light effects echo the rhythm of the city, brought 47 looks to the runway built around an essential yet structured wardrobe, where tailoring meets softer materials and nods to the Twenties without staging them as costume. It borrows the era's taste for draping, fabric drape, and the idea of evening elegance.
The palette moves primarily between grey, black, and navy blue, warmed by shades of brown and light neutrals, with purple providing the only bold contrast. COS doubles down on textures and garment construction: double-faced cashmere takes shape in enveloping, full-length coats with a defined waist and collar details, while floral embroidery and fringe add depth to the silhouette. Leather appears both in raw-cut artisanal constructions and in more classic forms, while herringbone fabrics pay homage to tailoring tradition.
The womenswear starts from an urban wardrobe designed to transition from day to evening. Long coats and coordinated suits with sculptural silhouettes are the cornerstone of the collection, while in the dresses the reference to the Twenties becomes evident through draping, dropped waists, uneven hems, and sheer fabrics. Soft leather bags and loafers complete the looks.
The menswear follows a similar direction: double-breasted jackets, shirts, half-zip knitwear, and trousers return, offered in both slim and wider cuts with relaxed proportions. Tonal ties, Derby shoes, and loafers complete the looks without disrupting the collection's continuity.
