, which enlisted Khan for its Fall/Winter 2021 campaign and runway show. In keeping with the brand’s laidback aesthetic, the collection highlights loosely-fitted, layered styles. In an official release, COS states its latest collection is also crafted toward sustainability and circularity, using repurposed materials and recycled fabrics.
The COS collection embraces fluidity through draped, layered styles and oversized fits. Do you feel that this type of fluidity in clothing is where the fashion world is headed? Fashion works in the delicate balance of being in tune with where the world is now and futurists in where the world will be, often acting as the curator of culture and taste along the way. Much like the rest of the world, we are grappling with the tension between creativity and capitalism, glamour and global despair, dreams and dystopia. Fashion will recycle and upcycle material. It will digitize as our lives become more intertwined with technology.
To live in a society such as ours, and to believe in justice or art, is to be in almost perpetual conflict with the capitalist machine that moves us all.

When I stopped thinking of it as simply “clothes” and more as artistic expression, I gave myself permission to explore joy and possibility.
