COS X ANATOL KNOTEK COLLABORATION

COS × Anatol Knotek is the latest collaboration by the London-based fashion brand. In continued dialogue with the creatives who inspire COS’ designs, the collection captures Anatol’s typographic elements and monochrome colour palette. Partially colour-blind, his artwork replaces colour and drawn lines with words, instead working with language to create impact. Anatol’s apparently simple artwork usually conveys a hidden message, often incorporating a sense of humour. His artwork, aptly named, The Solution, forms the foundation of the capsule, where the poem arises from the problem.

Crafting simple yet powerful works of visual poetry, Anatol comments, ‘The nature of literature is descriptive, and the nature of visual art is sensual – this gives plenty of room for experiments with expression.’

The unisex collection comprises four timeless COS signatures; the brand’s classic relaxed-fit T-shirt is the canvas for two T-shirt designs in inverted colourways, alongside a complimenting tote bag and mulberry silk scarf.
