An evening piece trimmed with playful frills at the hem, this dress is made from a light-catching material with a subtle woven texture. Cut for a voluminous A-line fit in a mid-length, it has a clean round neck, slits at the back of the long sleeves and discreet side-seam pockets.
A brand whose aesthetic has been so influential that it’s hard to remember what went before. But when COS launched in 2007 against a backdrop of fast, trend-led fashion, its focus on minimal pieces at accessible prices was a breakthrough moment. With a focus on style over trend, it heralded a new era for interesting, modern, considered design and changed our wardrobes for the better, forever.
