LONDON, UK — Setting the stage for the Spring Festival and the new Year of the Horse, international fashion retailer COS announces a limited-edition capsule that explores symbols of movement, renewal and the spirit of the season.

Think hand-drawn horse motifs animating the collection through fluid, dynamic compositions. The fresh capsule drop is designed for moments with loved ones, with pieces that elevate everyday dressing through relaxed silhouettes and refined details.

Inspired by the vitality of horses, the collection translates texture and rhythm into a combination of thoughtful prints and tactile finishes. Linear forms in motion are expressed across silk scarves, cotton accessories and soft wool layers, creating a considered interplay of line and form, all representing a quiet celebration of the New Year.

Blending traditional influences with modern design, the collection presents ready-to-wear pieces in vibrant spring tones and grounded neutrals, each piece inspired by the harmonious balance of elements found in nature. Highlights include wool knits in rich red, fluid silhouettes and versatile sets crafted for effortless styling.

Complementing this celebration of the Spring Festival and collection unique to the Year of the Horse, COS also opens an interactive pop-up set within Tianhou Palace. Right at a historic temple in downtown Shanghai, the space introduces COS’ limited-edition capsule, presented alongside the brand’s wider collection and a series of experiential moments rooted in tradition, performance and modern culture.

Framed by historic architecture, serene courtyards and layered cultural significance, the pop-up reimagines the ambience of a traditional Chinese teahouse through a contemporary lens. The result is a carefully curated environment that reflects COS’ design philosophy – considered, relevant and refined – where contemporary aesthetics harmonize with heritage influences.

The space made its doors to the public from 23rd to 26th January, when visitors are invited to discover the COS capsule collection, attend tea workshops and leave their hopes for the new year on an interactive wishing tree adorned with red cotton and silk leaves, which will be replanted after the event.

Tianhou Palace, also known as the Mazu Temple, is a historic maritime shrine dating back to 1884. The space is a traditional Chinese architectural marvel, that served as a long a place of worship for merchants and sailors who prayed to Mazu, the Goddess of Heaven, for safe voyages.

Found at the Jing’an District in Shanghai, following a numerous renovations and rebuilding through the years, the palace stands as a reminder of its past role as a spiritual and cultural landmark for seafaring communities.

The experience welcomes visitors to engage with rituals and the tranquillity of the new year, embracing the beginning of a new chapter.
