The collection is called "The Modern Traveller" and contains 23 pieces in seasonal greys, burgundies and deep navy. Sam Lobban, Senior Buyer at Net-a-Porter, said: “This range sums up the COS brand ethos: to create clean contemporary pieces with a focus on timeless style above seasonal trend. It’s this design-led attitude that resonated with us on a creative level at MR PORTER. We’re proud to collaborate with COS – this simple yet super interesting range deserves a global platform and the MR PORTER customer is the perfect audience.”

The collection was made with travelling in mind and contains lightweight, wearable pieces. Key pieces include the slim-cut tailoring in classic single-breasted styles, as well as luggage options and footwear.

“In addition to sharing similar brand values, we feel that MR PORTER is a pioneer in their area of expertise. In this contemporary setting of the ‘information age’ they continue to lead in adapting the latest technology, information sharing and pioneering design-led fashion. For ‘The Modern Traveller’ we wanted to create a collection that reinterpreted function for every occasion - a collection where the tailored suit can take you from a business meeting in NYC to an art gallery opening in the evening.” Martin Andersson, Head of Menswear Design, COS.
