COS (Collection of Style)
COS is a fashion brand part of the H&M Group.[1]. Parent company H&M owns retail brands including H&M, Other Stories, Monki, Arket, and COS.
Positioning
The brand is described as "creating contemporary minimalist collections for mid-range prices" [2] for women and men.
COS is an abbreviation of “Collection of Style.” The brand advertises a design ethos of pieces made to last beyond the season with a focus on craftsmanship, and of using sustainably sourced materials for its products [3]. The brand's marketing strategy has long sought to associate it with art and design [4][5].
