  • COS Announces COS × Lea Colombo Collaboration Featuring A Mood-Boosting Capsule Collection

    The vibrant, atmospheric world of Cape Town-born photographer and artist Lea Colombo arrives at COS this July. Continuing to champion the creative community, COS × Lea Colombo encapsulates a mood-boosting limited-edition collection.

    Lea X COS

    Of the collection, Lea Colombo commented, ‘These artworks are part of a flower series of mine – I create strong, vibrant, colourful images in the darkroom. The vibrant and contrasting colours are juxtaposed against the softer floral images, reflecting my constant exploration of duality, tension, and balance. They were produced back home in Cape Town, where my creativity is always awakened by incredible natural beauty – to transfer this onto clothing is a beautiful exchange of energy.’

    COS Design Director Karin Gustafsson said, ‘We are always inspired by other creative disciplines – the opportunity to collaborate with Lea and explore her unique processes allowed us to take our brand DNA and truly reimagine the designs through her work. Embracing the synergy between art and fashion, we showcase Lea’s enthusiastic, mood-boosting approach to colour and how she embraces an individual approach to style.’

    The campaign, connected to colour and emotion, which Colombo also shoots, showcases three exclusive prints on warm-weather staples for men and women, including T-shirts, shirts, dresses, and accessories. The Capsule Collection is available at COS SM Aura Premier for a limited time only.

  • WATCH: Joo Won is ‘Carter’, A Man with no Memory, but has one Mission

    About CARTER:

    Carter is an action film directed by Jung Byung-Gil (The Villainess, Confession of Murder) starring Joo Won.

    “Your name is Carter. Please trust me if you want to live.”

    Poster from Netflix

    Two months into a deadly pandemic originating from the DMZ that has devastated the US and North Korea, “Carter” awakens, with no recollections of his past. In his head is a mysterious device, and in his mouth, a lethal bomb. A strange voice in his ears gives him orders. The bomb may go off at any time — unless he rescues the girl who is the sole antidote to the virus. But the CIA and a North Korean coup are hot on his heels.

    Thrown into a mysterious operation, “Carter” must reclaim his identity and successfully complete his mission on time in this one-scene, one-cut action film.

    Logline: One-scene, one-cut action film. A man wakes up in a motel room with no recollection of who he is, except for a voice in his ear that calls him “Carter.” Following the voice’s orders, Carter goes on an exhilarating mission to save a kidnapped girl.
