This skirt is made from a cotton blend with a soft corduroy quality and smooth lining. A short length, it is completed with a concealed back zip fastening and moved-forward side seams with hidden 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.
The Times writer, Hattie Crisell says: "Who would have thought that a fabric associated with geography teachers, unworldly academics and those in possession of leaky ballpoint pens would be dazzling us on the catwalks of Prada, Mulberry and Marc Jacobs? And yet this season’s collections are full of cord, in lovely shades from powder blue to plum." 1 November 2017.
