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.
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.
