The COS Window Collaboration

By Mercedes

Posted in | Tags : , ,

So here it is!

I received this e-mail a couple of weeks ago, asking if I was interested in create a window for the COS shop in Barcelona. Time and budget were a bit tight, but the idea of collaborate with this brand and in such an amazing spot, sounded very exciting.
Since the shop is placed in a landmark building on Passeig de Gracia (the Casa Malagrida), there were also some limitations as to what I was allowed to do.

I came up with the idea of recreating the COS philosophy, using a plain white wall and filling it up with some of my illustrations (framed) which I did taking inspiration from the current collection (one of them was the shoe I advanced to you last week). I also added some representative pieces from their collection. Even though my original idea had much more going on, I preferred to leave it quite minimal since that corresponds more to the core of the brand and my own aesthetics. Other collaborations include Susie Bubble in London and Byglam in Paris.

Gracias a toda la gente de la tienda COS del Paseo de Gracia

    Me parece un escaparate muy fiel al estilo puro y minimal de COS. Me gusta más que el de la brittish blogger Style Bubble. ¡Felicidades!
