Presenting COS and MRPORTER.COM with The Modern Traveller: a capsule collection for summer 2015.

“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.”

– Martin Andersson, Head of Menswear Design, COS

The constantly changing western society is turning more and more globalized. This has definitely made its impact on the modern man’s life. It is clear that it has become almost mandatory to possess a wardrobe functional for every occasion that might occur. This includes traveling, work life or in private and is exactly what inspired to become a collaboration between the Swedish minimalistic designer brand COS and the well-known, web-based menswear destination MRPORTER.COM.

The creation of the limited 23-piece collection is based on menswear essentials in lightweight, wearable pieces. The color range combines white and greys with burgundies and various hues of blue. Clean lines and simplicity representing COS, mixed with sharp tailoring has resulted in a distinct minimalistic design that most likely will appeal largely to the Scandinavian customers.
