STRATA

STRATA draws inspiration from the geological concept of stratification - the layering of sedimentary rock or soil - reflecting the organic repetition and structural harmony found in nature. This concept resonates deeply with artist Giuseppe Randazzo’s stone formations, where fluid geometries and precise textures evoke a sense of timeless design. Translating these principles into menswear, this Fall/Winter collection for COS explores the seamless relationship between form, texture, and function.

Rooted in COS’s core values of timeless modernity, simplicity, and utility, Strata reimagines natural geometries into refined wardrobe essentials. Layers and subtle shifts in texture are key design elements, embodying the gradual transformations observed in nature. From fluid knitwear that mirrors the organic curves of stone strata to tailoring that integrates sculptural precision, the collection reflects a balance between softness and structure. Prints inspired by the repetition of geological layers provide an understated yet dynamic visual rhythm, enhancing the collection’s refined, minimal aesthetic.

With a focus on innovative construction and enduring functionality, Strata captures a fresh perspective on menswear that is both rooted in nature’s enduring patterns and aligned with COS’s commitment to sustainable, thoughtful design. The interplay of texture, form, and repetition creates a harmonious, tactile narrative that pushes the boundaries of modern simplicity.
