One of COS' flagship products, the white shirt, stared in an installation designed by Nendo. ''We took an unusual approach for installation's design: rather than designing the shirts or their hanger racks, we created sculptural pieces that rely on the interplay of shirts and frames. The smartly ordered shirts are crisp, classic white until they fall inside the steel cube frames, at which point they take on colour as thought the space itself has dyed them.''

Such a dynamic process turns this artistic and conceptual approach into a magical outcome.

The human body becomes the canvas of her inspirations starting and displaying.''My collection is about the aesthetic and the attraction of fears. I am interesting about the concept of masks. In many cultures, people wear mask to scare evil away, so the mask are decorated with the frightening images from the wearer’s fears.''
