COS and Tabata Shibori have announced a new collaboration that mixes contemporary fashion and traditional Japanese art. This exclusive partnership transforms Kazuki Tabata’s works of art into a magnificent homage to the craftsmanship of shibori, the reserve dyeing whose Japanese term means squeezing or wringing and derives from the simple practice that allows you to create a seductive range of colors and designs. This collaboration therefore celebrates the meeting between modern innovation and centuries-old tradition, with clothing that features unique motifs created using the techniques of the past. Each piece in the collection is indeed a fusion of COS’s clean and sophisticated aesthetic with the skill and organic beauty of Tabata Shibori’s creations. “In an era in which machines and computers can create almost anything – explains the artist originally from Kyoto, with a background as a sound engineer – I choose to preserve the shibori dye for future generations”. The 14-piece capsule includes dresses, shirts, and accessories, all featuring soft blue, orange, and brown tones that evoke a sense of calm. This partnership represents a celebration of creativity, offering exclusive pieces that combine the best of both worlds: art and fashion.
