Here’s a highly irritating fashion frustration to be filed in the First World Problems bank: see something on the catwalk/in a campaign/on a celebrity, fall in love with it, find out it is going to set you back six months of living expenses. Credit rating or good clothes: you decide. Except, thanks to a niche of haute-street brands, you don’t have to pick a team.
Leading the charge is Cos, whose Atelier collection lands in stores now. Rewind to September’s New York Fashion Week, and that collection was unveiled in a catwalk show. Held in the Manhattan Classic Car Club, in front of the cinematic backdrop of sunset on the Hudson River, a celebrity front row including Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner Smith, Suki Waterhouse and Evan Mock, watch as the likes of Selena Forrest, Jeanne Cadieu and Devyn Garcia took to the runway in cashmere coats and slinky knit dresses and excellent tailoring.
