Two morning coffees to fight jet lag and I was very much looking forward to the show and seeing a little of Athens. We headed to the venue which was in Dionysso, a huge and beautiful marble quarry. It embodied the minimalism of Cos brand as we know it today and was like no other show venue I’d been to before. I wore this light, linen suit in yellow—perfect for the transitional weather. I’d typically pair this with a white T-shirt but I felt like adding something unexpected so opted for a pale pink shirt instead. Matching it with my tinted Cos x Linda Farrow sunglasses was unintentional but I liked it!
The spring collection they showed was effortless and easy, there was nothing in there that didn’t feel wearable or approachable for almost everyone in the room. The fluidity of the pieces against the marble and stainless steel interior provided great contrast. The matching sets of all kinds were a highlight, from the salmon pink shorts and shirts to the knitted twinsets. They were both cool and contemporary in equal measure and I’m always in favor of anything that makes putting together an outfit feel easy.
Fisherman jelly sandals, slouchy tote bags, and draped tops were the must-buy items from the show that stood alone as great individual pieces—and once more everything can be shopped on cos.com now!
Day 1: By Night
After a quick turnaround at the hotel we headed to Cinapos for dinner which couldn’t have felt more cool and quintessentially Greek. The atmosphere was relaxed yet energetic and we dove into a Greek feast. For dessert? Plate smashing! I changed into a strapless Toteme top and slip skirt and added this cord necklace from COS—the jacket lives on and I was surprised to find that black and butter yellow do actually work together!
Day 2: I Wish!
My trip to Athens was short and sweet and I was left wanting so much more. With interesting stores and restaurants to explore I’ll be back this summer and plan to head to the Mouki Mou store, Taverna ton Filon, and MO Vintage to name a few!
