COS returns to New York Fashion Week with elegant AW25 collection
The runway unfolded inside the Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse along Brooklyn’s waterfront, where a raw, industrial setting was transformed into a spectacle of modernist elegance. Reimagined in pristine white, the cavernous space became an architectural stage for the collection to come to life. As models entered with poise, suspended light boxes shifted from a soft, warm glow to a crisp, illuminating white, amplifying the quiet confidence and effortless ease of 47 distinctive looks – each one refined, yet powerful.
COS returned to New York Fashion Week with its AW25 collection, showcasing 47 refined looks in a strikingly reimagined Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse.
The palette of inky darks with neutral accents highlighted contrasts of matte and sheen, structured tailoring and fluid draping.
Heritage checks, sheer layers, and versatile pieces reflected the brand’s timeless, elegant yet modern ethos.
In striking juxtaposition to the set, the collection anchors itself in a sophisticated palette of rich, inky darks – black, steel grey and deep navy – complemented by neutral accents. Creative expressions emerge as iconic house codes are retold through fine materials, texture and finish: pony-effect surfaces, supple leather and shearling are offset by a balance of matte versus sheen, adding visual depth. On the runway, sheer injections introduced moments of delicate transparency, revealing the body in motion, while dynamic, heritage-inspired checks were spotlighted on ready-to-wear pieces, accessories and footwear, forming statement head-to-toe looks.
Embodying the brand’s core principles of timelessness, craftsmanship and uncompromising quality, the collection seamlessly blends structure with fluidity. Womenswear explores cocooning volumes through enveloping scarves, high-neck shapes and sculptural draping. Cinched waists, feminine cuts and open necklines draw references from the 1950s New Look silhouette, while day-to-night versatility is reimagined through signature pieces – notably a softly sculpted silk dress that redefines modern elegance through multiple styling opportunities. Bags and accessories echoed the garments in fabrication and finish, with sleek leather loafers and sock boots completing seamless, contemporary silhouettes.
In menswear, functional yet inventive tailoring balances utility with innovation. Oversized proportions and sharp shoulders refresh classic cuts, while tonal layering in complementing fabrications modernise the concept of set dressing. Sartorial-inspired details – buttoned epaulette shoulders, functional pocket details and coordinating trousers – infuse looks with contemporary ease. Textural richness, presented through basketweave knits and chenille surfaces, introduce further warmth and tactility. Footwear grounded the looks with timeless leather boots and trainers in tonal colourways – classic designs with a modern twist.

South Korea’s Misto Holdings completes planned leadership transition
The transition marks the formal handover of executive leadership to President and CEO Keun-Chang (Kevin) Yoon, reinforcing management continuity while preserving the founder’s long-term strategic vision.
Misto Holdings founder Gene Yoon has transitioned to honorary chairman in a planned leadership succession, formally handing executive control to president and CEO Kevin Yoon.
The founder, who expanded the group through the FILA global trademark acquisition and the takeover of Acushnet, will continue guiding long-term strategy as the rebranded Misto focuses on governance and sustainable growth.
Gene Yoon founded the business that would become Misto Holdings in the early 1990s, introducing the FILA brand to the Korean market and later leading a series of transformative transactions. In 2007, the company acquired the global FILA trademark rights through a leveraged buyout, followed by the 2011 acquisition of Acushnet Company, owner of the Titleist and FootJoy brands. The transaction was among the largest cross-border deals in Korea’s consumer sector at the time and significantly expanded the group’s global footprint.
Under his leadership, the company evolved into a multi-brand global portfolio spanning sportswear, golf equipment and apparel, generating approximately USD 3.08 billion in annual revenue.
As Honorary Chairman, Gene Yoon will remain closely engaged with the company, providing guidance on long-term strategy and global portfolio development while supporting management from a broader strategic perspective.
The leadership transition marks a new chapter under President and CEO Kevin Yoon, who has spent nearly two decades in senior roles across the group’s global operations, building deep operational and strategic expertise.
The company’s 2025 rebranding to “Misto” underscores its evolution into a global brand house focused on disciplined capital allocation, enhanced shareholder returns and sustainable long-term growth.
“Building on the founder’s legacy, our priority is to expand our global portfolio, strengthen governance and deliver sustainable value creation,” said Kevin Yoon, President and CEO of Misto Holdings.
